Announcing Winners of Guess-A-Nobel 2009

All of this year’s Nobel Prizes in the sciences were very relevant to healthcare and biomedical research. Our readers were able to guess the Medicine and Chemistry winners, but no one named the Physicists.
And now, a drum roll….
Beth Cimini was the first person to correctly guess all three of the winners of The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2009. Coincidentally, Beth is a student in Dr. Elizabeth H. Blackburn’s lab at UCSF, one of the winners of the Nobel Prize. Congratulations Beth, and we hope you can also relay our congratulations to Dr. Blackburn.
David Staple, a Technology Specialist at the IP Law firm of Casimir Jones SC in Madison, Wisconsin was the only person to correctly guess the winners of The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009. Of note, David believes that Harry Noller, a major figure in ribosome research, was wrongfully omitted from the Nobel prize. Congratulations David, on your cunning and sharp guessing.
Both of today’s winners will receive an individually engraved Apple iPod Touch.

We’d like to thank everyone for playing and be sure to play Guess-A-Nobel again at around the same time next year.
