Pavlov's Biography at the Nobel Prize Website

Many students are surprised to learn Ivan Pavlov won a Nobel Prize. What further surprises them is the prize was NOT given for his research into classical conditioning but for his work in digestion.

The Nobel website includes a short biography of every prize winner since the award's inception in 1901. The Novel biography on Pavlov can be found at http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1904/pavlov-bio.html
