Does anyone know of a published scientist with a paper at 99+???

I’m celebrating tonight with my father in law, Jack Strominger, who is about to enjoy his 100th New Years!

He wants to know whether any other scientist has published in their 100th year. He’s proud to have a paper in the works. I told him you all would know! Please RT

Joel Hildebrand published well into his 90s. https://www.nytimes.com/1983/05/03/obituaries/joel-hildebrand-101-chemist-joined-u-of-california-in-1913.html

Hildebrand wrote a great review of the book “Rutherford and Physics at the Turn of the Century”. He said that the author remarks about how fascinating it must have been to be a physical scientist in that period. Hildebrand the wrote “I am such a person.” This was about 1985.
