| Feb 9, 2021 at 2:39 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | It is amazing that Andre Bloch could receive a prize. | |
| Feb 8, 2021 at 16:08 | comment | added | F. C. | According to wikipedia, Henri Becquerel (with i and not y) is the son of Alexandre Edmond Becquerel. So this is not the same prize. | |
