Theodor Svedberg grew up in Örebro, Sweden, as an only child to the parents of Elias Svedberg and Augusta Alstermark. Growing up Theodor grew his passion of chemistry and other sciences from his father Elias Svedberg. Theodor and his father would spend time learning about nature which drove Theodor's enthusiasm for the sciences. Theodor Svedberg was awarded the 1926 Nobel Prize for chemistry for his work in colloid chemistry, but his name is best known for the "Svedberg unit," the unit of measurement of the velocity of sedimentation and, thus, the molecular weight of proteins.
