"Millions of Lives Saved"?
byĀ Dr.Harald WiesendangerāĀ Klartext What the mainstream media is hiding Have mRNA vaccines against Covid-19 āsaved millions of livesā? Thatās why the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded. It honors a hair-raising lie ābased on a junk simulation financed by industry,ā according to two scientists from Canada. It has now been quoted over 700 times in the specialist press worldwide, andā¦

The Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded Monday to Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their discovery of microRNA, a fundamental principle governing how gene activity is regulated. The Nobel Assembly said that their discovery is "proving to be fundamentally important for how organisms develop and function."

love that marcille saw how miserable the ppl of the golden kingdom were that every one who had memories of living on the surface choose death rather than living for 1000 years and * she still was like im gonna wish for everyone to live 1000 years bc i know better than any one bc I am alone in my experiance AND i read it in a book once and got an A+ in that class.
i mean to decide to violate the autonomy of everyone on the planet. That takes vision. That takes ambition. #womeninSTEM
*under extreme duress and manipulation. She backslid.

I studied small RNAs in my PhD thesis and I cited Rosalind Lee in all my papers, introductions, seminars etc. as R. Lee et al. for her touchdown findings in posttranscriptional regulation. I don't get how she isn't recognized by Nobel committee. It might be because she isn't a tenured Prof with her own lab, cause they hate scientists outside academia

Chemistry Behind Bacterial Disease
š¬In the early 20th century, bacterial diseases were a death sentence! But in 1932, Gerhard Domagk discovered the power of prontosil, a colorful azo dye, to treat deadly streptococcal infections. He saved his daughter's life and won the Nobel Prize in 1939š
Prontosil is an antibacterial drug of the sulfonamide group. It has a relatively broad effect against gram-positive cocci but not against enterobacteria.

Gerty Cori was born on August 15, 1896. An Austro-Hungarian-American biochemist who in 1947 was the third woman to win a Nobel Prize in science, and the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. With her husband Carl and Argentine physiologist Bernardo Houssay, Gerty Cori received the Nobel Prize in 1947 for the discovery of the mechanism by which glycogenāa derivative of glucoseāis broken down in muscle tissue into lactic acid and then resynthesized in the body and stored as a source of energy (known as the Cori cycle). They also identified the important catalyzing compound, the Cori ester.

A bronze statue of a laboratory mouse knitting a double helix of DNA in order to honor all the mice that were sacrificed for genetic research to develop new drugs to fight diseases.
It was designed by Andrew Kharkevich and is located in Siberia, Russia.
The monument was completed on 1 July 2013, coinciding with the 120th anniversary of the founding of the city.
The monument commemorates the sacrifice of the mice in genetic research used to understand biological and physiological mechanisms for developing new drugs and curing diseases.
Sculptor Alexei Agrikolyansky, who created the statue, confessed that it was challenging to capture this moment, as the mouse was obviously not human.
Nevertheless, he had to produce a character with believable emotions while maintaining anatomical proportions, avoiding it looking like a cartoon character or a real mouse.
The DNA spiral emerging from the knitting needles winds to the left, symbolizing the still poorly understood Z-DNA - representing the scientific research that is yet to be done.
In contrast, the more common B-DNA winds to the right.
The very first photograph of DNA was captured by a woman named Rosalind Franklin (25 July 1920 ā 16 April 1958) using X-ray technology, allowing James Dewey Watson (born April 6, 1928) and Francis Harry Compton Crick OM FRS (8 June 1916 ā 28 July 2004) to accurately characterize the double helix.
While they went on to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962, Franklin was not credited.
Sadly, she had passed away in 1958 from ovarian cancer, most likely caused by the high radiation exposure she endured while working with X-rays to capture the image of the double helix.

do yāall have those things you do with your parents that are so routine that you forget that itās not ānormalā?
because for me itās definitely that my dad and i email each other memes. and not in a āmy dad is technologically ineptā way, my dad has an engineering degree and has worked in tech for over 3 decades. no itās more of a āheās TOO technologically literate to not email me memesā way.
he only has facebook on his computer, so instead of figuring out how to get the memes to his phone to text them to me, he saves the images and emails them to me. and i love it but i do oftentimes forget that getting emails with shitpost memes from your father isnāt exactly normal
#and when i tell you he emails me memes i need you to understand that he is emailing me the most shitposty shitposts#with the exception of dog pictures he does email me dog pictures and silly dog memes too#but usually itās nerdy ass shitposts because he knows me so well#and also that he too is a nerdy ass person and he thinks the memes are funny too#like i open my email and 8/10 itās gonna be some joke abt āMuadādib the Messiah aka Paul Atreides 16 Year Old Boy on Drugsā#other 2 times out of 10 is a dog or a link to New Science Thing of the Week#because weāre nerds like that too#(he emailed me the Nobel Prize in Medicineās press release only for me to tell him iād read all the releases for the science prizes already#anyway#just some lore about my dad#heās such a silly man sometimes#and i love him

Medicine cat:
#warrior cats#like you guys have been practicing medicine for 50+ years and this is still the best you can doā¦smh#now im imagining the first medicine cat to come up with the stick strategy getting the warrior cats version of the Nobel prize for medicine#in honor of this groundbreaking discovery

The Impact of Caenorhabditis elegans in Scientific Research
The Remarkable Impact of C. elegans in Scientific Research When scientists are honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, it is customary for them to express gratitude towards their families, colleagues, and the institutions or funding bodies that supported their research endeavors. This year, as the renowned molecular biologist Gary Ruvkun accepted the pinnacle of recognition in hisā¦

Alexander Fleming was born on August 6, 1881. A Scottish physician and microbiologist, best known for discovering the world's first broadly effective antibiotic substance, which he named penicillin. His discovery in 1928 of what was later named benzylpenicillin (or penicillin G) from the mold Penicillium rubens is described as the "single greatest victory ever achieved over disease". For this discovery, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain. Fleming was knighted for his scientific achievements in 1944. In 1999, he was named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century.

Facts. The medicine prize was also won by researchers who used AI. For the first time ever, we can now know what structures protein will take beforehand. For a lot of different reasons, itās a revolutionary concept and there are dozens of applications for this discovery, namely cancer treatments, etc.
But even ChatGPT used responsibly can be an amazing tool. Itās an amazing translator, for starters. Its partnership with Wolfram Alpha is a godsend to STEM students, who in the past had to rely on teachersā kindness for detailed exercise resolutions. Also, it can be helpful to build an efficient study routine or a quick paced travel plan.
As long as AI doesnāt replace the use of our intellect and trample our intellectual property, which unfortunately has already been happening to an extent, society should benefit incredibly from it.
