Our podcast team caught up with Victor Ambros from his lab to learn more about his #NobelPrize winning research discovering microRNA.
“The fact that the microRNA was the product of this gene that was regulating this other gene in this context was a complete surprise… But sometimes surprises emerge, and in fact, surprises emerge perhaps surprisingly often.”
MicroRNA − a new Nobel laureate describes the scientific process of discovering these tiny molecules that turn genes on and off
Victor Ambros received half of the Nobel Prize for his work on microRNAs. Here he talks about the teamwork – and the nematodes – that made the discovery possible.The Conversation

3 Immigrants To America Win 2024 Nobel Prize In Economics
Three immigrants to America won the 2024 Nobel Prize in economics, illustrating continued contributions by immigrants to the United States.Stuart Anderson (Forbes)
And to my utter shock and surprise, today in the Nobel Prize for Men,
not one... not two... but THREE men awarded Nobel Prizes! Hurrah!
Currently at 0 for 7....
Han Kang has become the first South Korean writer to win the Nobel Prize in literature, and the eighteenth woman to win the award. The 53-year-old has written poetry, books of essays and novels, including "The Vegetarian," which won the Man Booker Prize in 2016. In its citation, the Swedish Academy commended her for her "intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.” Here's more from @npr.

"We now have a new dimension to the attribution problem. It’s increasingly unclear whether we will always be able to distinguish between the contributions of human scientists and those of their artificial collaborators – the AI tools that are already helping push forward the boundaries of our knowledge."
It is interesting that both the Physics and Chemistry Nobel prizes for 2024 involved machine learning (aka AI).

AI was central to two of 2024’s Nobel prize categories. It’s a sign of things to come
AI will feature in future Nobel prizes as scientists exploit the power of this technology for research.The Conversation
This year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry recognizes 3 researchers for their use of machine learning to tackle one of biology’s biggest challenges: predicting the 3D shape of proteins and designing them from scratch.
A fellow chemist breaks it down for us non-chemists:

Machine learning cracked the protein-folding problem and won the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry
The prize honors innovation at Google DeepMind and in academia. Three researchers share the award for using machine learning to predict proteins’ 3D shapes and design the molecules from scratch.The Conversation
This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics went to two researchers who pioneered the machine learning techniques that are at the core of ChatGPT generating text, Siri answering questions, and banks noticing fraudulent charges – as well as many other useful innovations.
A statistician clearly explains the breakthrough and what the award of this Nobel means:

Nobel Prize in physics spotlights key breakthroughs in AI revolution − making machines that learn
The Nobel Prize shows that the field of artificial neural networks – and the deep learning AI revolution the technology unleashed – owe as much to physics as biology and computer science.The Conversation
Build Your Own Artificial Neural Network. It’s Easy! - Nautilus
The first artificial neural networks weren’t abstractions inside a computer, but actual physical systems made of whirring motors and big bundles of wire.George Musser (Nautilus)
American scientists have won the #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of microRNAs, which regulates gene activity.
These tiny molecules are revolutionizing our understanding of gene regulation and hold promise for treating diseases like cancer.
MicroRNA is the Nobel-winning master regulator of the genome – researchers are learning to treat disease by harnessing how it controls genes
Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun won the 2024 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their discovery of microRNAs, molecules that turn genes on and off – and cause disease when they go awry.The Conversation
Victor Ambros och Gary Ruvkun får årets Nobelpris i fysiologi eller medicin.
”För upptäckten av mikro-RNA och dess roll i post-transkriptionell genreglering”. Så lyder motiveringen för årets pristagare i fysiologi eller medicin.
