Ralph Leighton ( ; born 1949) is an American biographer, film producer, and friend of the late physicist Richard Feynman.
 He recorded Feynman relating stories of his life.
 Leighton has released some of the recordings as "The Feynman Tapes".
 These interviews became the basis for the books "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
" and "What Do You Care What Other People Think?
", which were later combined into the hardcover anniversary edition "Classic Feynman: All the Adventures of a Curious Character".
 Leighton is an amateur drummer and founder of the group Friends of Tuva.
 In 1990 he wrote "Tuva or Bust!
 Richard Feynman's Last Journey."
William Howard McLellan (December 1, 1924 – September 30, 2011) was an American electrical engineer, who achieved some fame in 1960 by succeeding at an engineering challenge set by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.
Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (22 November 191730 May 2012) was a Nobel Prize-winning English physiologist and biophysicist.
 He was born into the prominent Huxley family.
 After graduating from Westminster School in Central London, from where he won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge, he joined Alan Lloyd Hodgkin to study nerve impulses.
 Their eventual discovery of the basis for propagation of nerve impulses (called an action potential) earned them the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1963.
 They made their discovery from the giant axon of the Atlantic squid.
 Soon after the outbreak of the Second World War, Huxley was recruited by the British Anti-Aircraft Command and later transferred to the Admiralty.
 After the war he resumed research at The University of Cambridge, where he developed interference microscopy that would be suitable for studying muscle fibres.
Joseph Allard (February 1, 1873 – November 14, 1947) was a Canadian fiddler and composer.
 He occasionally recorded under the pseudonym Maxime Toupin.
 Allard made many popular recordings, including "Reel de l'Aveugle", "Reel de Chateauguay", "Reel de Jacques Cartier", and "Reel du voyageur".
 During most of his life he was rarely in the public eye, and worked much of his life as a fisherman.
 After his recordings became popular, he was known as "The Prince of Fiddlers".
Charles "Chuck" Hirshberg is an American journalist and sportswriter.
 He primarily writes for large-circulation magazines.
 His articles and columns have appeared in "Time", "Sports Illustrated", "Life", the "Los Angeles Times", the "Washington Post", "Men's Health" and other publications.
 As of 2002, he was an editor of "Popular Science".
 His mother is the astrophysicist Joan Feynman and his uncle was Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.
The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen Scientist is a non-fiction book by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.
 It is a collection of three previously unpublished public lectures given by Feynman in 1963.
 The book was first published in hardcover in 1998, ten years after Feynman's death, by Addison–Wesley.
 Several paperback and audiobook editions of the book have subsequently been published.
Gerald Maurice Edelman ( ; July 1, 1929 – May 17, 2014) was an American biologist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work with Rodney Robert Porter on the immune system.
 Edelman's Nobel Prize-winning research concerned discovery of the structure of antibody molecules.
 In interviews, he has said that the way the components of the immune system evolve over the life of the individual is analogous to the way the components of the brain evolve in a lifetime.
 There is a continuity in this way between his work on the immune system, for which he won the Nobel Prize, and his later work in neuroscience and in philosophy of mind.
"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"
: Adventures of a Curious Character is an edited collection of reminiscences by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.
 The book, released in 1985, covers a variety of instances in Feynman's life.
 Some are lighthearted in tone, such as his fascination with safe-cracking, studying various languages, participating with groups of people who share different interests (such as biology or philosophy), and ventures into art and samba music.
 Others cover more serious material, including his work on the Manhattan Project (during which his first wife Arline Greenbaum died of tuberculosis) and his critique of the science education system in Brazil.
 The section "Monster Minds" describes his slightly nervous presentation of his graduate work on the Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory in front of Albert Einstein, Wolfgang Pauli and other major figures of the time.
QED is a play by American playwright Peter Parnell that chronicles significant events in the life of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.
 It presents scenes from a fictional day in Feynman's life, less than two years before his death, interweaving many strands from his biography, from the Manhattan project to the "Challenger" disaster inquiry to more personal topics such as the death of Feynman's wife and his own fight with cancer.
 The play, which grew out of a collaboration between Parnell, actor Alan Alda, and director Gordon Davidson, premiered in 2001.
 The original production, directed by Davidson and starring Alda as Feynman, was performed first at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and, from late 2001 to mid-2002, on Broadway.
Tom Newman, a graduate student at Stanford University in 1985, was one of the two people to meet one of a pair of challenges put forth by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society in 1959, in a talk titled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom".
