Improper use of abbreviations
The article states:


 * "Isgur was also a recipient of the Herzberg Prize (CAP), the Steacie Fellowship and Prize (NSERC), and the Rutherford Memorial Medal in Physics (RSC). He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and of the American Physical Society."

What is "CAP"? What is "NSERC"? What is "RSC"? The article needs to state what the abbreviations stand for. Famspear (talk) 23:46, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I found a site that has all that info. 173.228.123.207 (talk) 02:55, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Origin of Nathan Isgur's last name
By Stephen Wolfram:


 * Murray ... was very interested in—and I think very knowledgeable about—words and languages. And when he would meet someone, he would make a point of regaling them with information about the origin of their name ... Now, of course, if there’s one word people tend to know something about, it’s their own name. And, needless to say, Murray sometimes got its origins wrong—and was very embarrassed. (I remember he told a friend of mine named Nathan Isgur a long and elaborate story about the origin of the name “Isgur”, with Nathan eventually saying: “No, it was made up at Ellis Island!”.) 173.228.123.207 (talk) 02:57, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
