37. Announcement of The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024, relevant to life scientists!

Episode 37

The 2024 Nobel Prize was announced! Two days ago, it was in Physiology or Medicine. Yesterday, it was in Physics. Today, it was in Chemistry.   

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Dr. David Baker “for computational protein design”, and to Dr. Demis Hassabis and Dr. John Jumper, “for protein structure prediction.”   

Their work is directly related to life sciences.   

Let’s learn about the work by watching a YouTube video. It is the archived video of the announcement of The Nobel Prize.   

I am sure you enjoy listening to podcasts. I am also happy to report to you that Dr. David Baker launched “The Baker Lab Podcast” just two weeks before this recording!
