In several cases, a parent haes wan a Nobel Prize, an then years later, the bairn haes wan the Nobel Prize for separate resairch. An example o this is with Marie Curie an her dauchter Irène Joliot-Curie, wha are the anly mither-dauchter pair. Several faither-son pairs hae wan twa separate Nobel Prizes.
