According to Wikipedia, Watt Wetmore Webb was an American biophysicist, known for his co-invention of multiphoton microscopy in 1990. Early life and education Watt Wetmore Webb was born on August 27, 1927, in Kansas City, Missouri. Webb hailed from a family of bankers. In 1891, his grandfather, Watt Webb, had founded the Missouri Savings Bank, an organization that would be led by Webb's uncle Wilson S. Webb, and eventually his father Watt Webb Jr. Due to a long illness, Watt W. Webb did not start formal schooling until the age of 10. As a young man, Webb worked at the family banking business; when Webb joined MIT as an undergraduate at 16 years old, he acceded to his parents request that he study business administration to prepare him to join the family banking business. Despite his business major, Webb took a number of science and engineering courses, and raced sailboats as part of MIT's sailing team. He completed his bachelor's degree in business and engineering administration in 1947, then went to work as an industrial engineer at Union Carbide Research Labs in Niagara Falls, New York, focused on submerged arc welding. He returned to MIT, completing his doctorate in materials science physics and mathematics in 1955.
