In 1995, Mario Molina, a chemist and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, received the phone call that scientists everywhere work and hope for. The caller was a colleague of Marios from Sweden, where the Nobel Prizes are awarded. He had good news: Molina, along with his colleague Dr. Sherwood Rowland and Dutch chemist Paul Crutzen, had just been awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry. Their research on the ozonosphere, which is one of the layers of the atmosphere, changed the science of atmospheric chemistry. It also changed the way we think about Earths blanket of air and how we affect it.
