Guess-A-Nobel Contest

In one week from today, the Nobel Foundation will start announcing this year’s Nobel Prizes. Medgadget is proud to present the first ever Guess-A-Nobel contest. Here’s your chance to shine: name either the scientist(s) or discoveries in the comments to this post, and win one of the new iPod nanos.
Since we are a medical blog, initially we were thinking only about the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. But then we decided to expand to include the other two supreme sciences of nature: Physics and Chemistry.
So here are the rules:
1. Anyone can enter by writing a comment to this post. Please make sure you leave your email address, so we can get in touch with you.
2. Identify either the scientist(s) or discoveries in Medicine, and/or Physics and/or Chemistry, for your chance to win an iPod nano, or even three of them.
3. If a winner lives outside the US, Canada, or EU, instead of sending the prize, we’ll transfer an equivalent amount of ca$h via a PayPal account.
4. Deadline for entries is Midnight Pacific Standard Time on Saturday Oct. 4.

Good luck to all!
