Nobel Prize
Anaemia means that the amount of red blood cells in the blood is too low. After medicine laureate George Whipple showed that the formation of blood cells among dogs was stimulated by a diet rich in liver, in 1926 George Minot and William Murphy adapted this finding for people who had pernicious anaemia. They were able to treat this previously fatal illness with a “liver extract”. Today we know that people with pernicious anaemia are deficient in vitamin B12 – which is readily found in liver.
Watch the three laureates George Whipple, George Minot and William Murphy receive their award:

“My first chemistry exam at Harvard was a disaster,” says chemistry laureate Moungi Bawendi. Luckily, this experience did not stop him from following his passion.
Bawendi chose to study chemistry at university because he was good at it at school, but when faced with an exam in a “cavernous” and imposing building, he became overwhelmed, recalling an experience that many of us have faced.
“I knew what the questions were asking but I couldn’t answer them - at least I couldn’t answer them fast enough. I went to the first question and I got paralysed. I wrote a few things down and I panicked, and I went to the next question and panicked, and the next question and panicked and I looked around.”
His mark was the lowest in the class but for him it was a good lesson, because it made him learn how to study for a timed exam, describing it as “a skill that students need to learn.”
Bawendi shared the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Louis Brus and Aleksey Yekimov “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots”.
Watch him talk about his childhood, the merits of diversity and research:

Some career advice from 2021 medicine laureate David Julius: "If you’ve had any success in the past, you should take stock of that and realise that that will happen again, if you’re persistent, if you’re determined and you’re interested in science. I think it’s important to also relax a little bit. You have to be driven and you have to be determined and work hard, but I think emotionally you have to be relaxed and enjoy the process. I once heard Paul Nurse say when he was being interviewed on television – and I completely resonated with this – he said, sometimes things aren’t working, but you have to take joy in the experiments themselves. You should enjoy the process.
Of course, you have to keep your mind on what your scientific goal is, but you should also enjoy the process and take some pride in doing experiments well and mastering new techniques because that’s the joy of the moment that gets you from place to place."
Julius was awarded the medicine prize with Ardem Patapoutian "for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch."

This song saved my life. I’m gay. I was owned by my family. I was homeless. I joined the military. I’m a veteran. I’m alive because of this song. Thank you.

After her mistake, she made the song her own. What a beautiful moment that we could all learn from

She will never know how much this performance helped me in life, and what it taught me about dignity & recovery from my own anxious errors in life.

“Sorry, I’m so nervous”. Her humbleness made me choke. It takes more power to remain humble and human than to fight for fame. God bless you Patti.

This is how to honor your art while recognizing your own imperfection. Start, humbly apologize, and start again. And that itself is perfection.

When she apologised with such genuine, child-like humility I burst into tears. Such an incredible performance made even more so by her incredible vulnerability and raw emotion. Wow...I LOVE YOU PATTI!!

So thankful to have walked the earth the same time as Bob Dylan and Patti Smith. Patti's nerves and emotion performing this classic among Europe's elites is so poignant, heartfelt, ironic, it is impossible to not get emotional.

In that apology she became the song, she embodied every word that flows through its verses, in her humility she lay bare and naked its humble lyrics, she couldn’t have been better

Jesus she’s so real. I love the way she presents herself. No artifice, just human. So beautiful.

All pretense was sucked out of that room. We are vulnerable children wandering in an often brutal wilderness and Patti Smith reminded us - using Dylan's words - of that.

Only a true legend like Patti Smith could turn a mistake into something even more beautiful than what was intended. Now it's both an iconic performance, and also a life lesson on how to respond to our own slip-ups.

It was at the point at which she forgot the words, apologised with such beauty and humility, and began to sing again, that I really started to listen. Patti, you carry in your voice and in your heart the agonising insight into the depth and terror of those who feel. Wonderful, sexy, original and mesmerising, but above all, breathtakingly brave. Break the rules! Make mistakes! Begin again! You are the heart of light. Thank you.

Perhaps the most incredible display of class, talent, integrity and humility I've ever seen. Patti, you are awesome!
