Salam – The First ****** Nobel Laureate
Professor Muhammad Abdus Salam (1926-1996) was the first Pakistani and Muslim scientist to win a Nobel Prize. However, this honour was paired with disdain from his homeland of Pakistan for being a member of the Ahmadiyya Islamic community. His Muslim identity still sparks controversy even after his death. Are science and religion so incompatible that a scientist is forced to choose between the two?
