Can I get 1,000 followers by posting about what I find interesting and related to the Nobel Prize? I don't think so. But maybe there are reasons to do it anyway. Anyway, I'm a middle-aged life sciences student from northern Sweden. I also have ASD.

When I grew up the UN was very popular here. Here’s the statue outside the UN, kind of, it’s a copy with different colours found in a local mall. Since the statue is mentioned in The dark forest (2008), Liu Cixin, I am also going to assume it’s known internationally.

Back in 2022, Anne L'Huillier was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. She is the second French woman to receive the prize after Marie Skłodowska Curie, but Wikipedia calls her a "French-Swedish physicist". 1/3

I just misspelled “null hypothesis” so much the spellcheck thought I meant “molly potency”. Just thought I should share. In

Somehow I find it poetic that Caribou bioscience in California and my local university both have reindeer heads as logos. Likey a coincidence but maybe not. The bioscience company was founded by Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier was working at my university. #Nobelpriz2020

Dance Dance Revolution by Cathy Park Hongis written in a fictional English dialect (“Desert Creole” spoken in the fictional Desert City). Excerpt: “y physicality, no Don Ju-yuan...our kiss a blotch o two fumbly lips...“ I googled “Ju-yuan”, it looked “East Asian”, indeed it is a Chinese word. 1/3

On the subject of nobel prize disease, if you want something more extreme than Linus Pauling or Kary Mullis. The French man who got the medicine prize the same year Titanic sank, wanted to gas undesirables. tinyurl.com/5n7tdtnd tinyurl.com/3r3evecz

For some reason I got fascinated with poet Cathay Park Hong and the Montana man who illegally cloned a giant sheep. Poem thanks to Sam Altman: Cloned sheep softly tread, mountain king watches them pass, desert winds whisper, Cathay Park lost in the haze, city fades in dawn’s emb race.

That Svante Pääbo, back in 1994, wrote something about cichlids is something I learned via @geneticliteracy.bsky.social and their article about tilapia. tinyurl.com/ycnhefb9

Video from my aquarium. Letting my thoughts wander freely, L. multifasciatus are african cichlids, and apparently Svante Pääbo, awarded the nobel prize 2022, was coauthor of a paper about african cichlids. youtu.be/YC7w2bilVK8?... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8145848/ #nobelprize2022

Clutching at straws and looking at potential civil war in the Trump admistration. Kimbal Musk, brother of the other Musk, is involved with a company making heterotrophic plants with old fashion CRISPR Cas9. And RFK Jr is anti-biotech. Ok, at least this is a excuse to mention #NobelPrize2020 again.
