Can I get 1,000 followers by posting about what I find interesting and is related to the Nobel Prize? I don't think so. But maybe there are reasons to do it anyway. Update Tuesday and Friday
As a commentary on anti-Semitism, I years ago wrote a poem that mentioned "Golem made of graphene". Graphene is Nobel Prize awarded discovery. Is it one of those Nobel Prize awarded to a scientist with Jewish background? Well, Wikipedia tells me it's not that simple. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_G...

Konrad Lorenz shared a nobel prize for discovering related to cuteness and wherefore related to a quite modern Japanese fenomen? #kindchenschema #KindchenSchema #BabySchemaScience #LorenzLegacy #EthologyNobel #CutenessEvolution #Japan #nobelprize #digitalart

Today I saw the ceremony when Emmanuelle Charpentier become honourable citizen of my home town.
Charming enough she said the snow up here creaked: "Crispr", "Crispr" under her shoes.

Elizabeth Blackburn shared a Nobel Prize for her work on telomeres. In 2004 she was dismissed from a government position, perhaps due to her criticism of Bush’s stem cell policies. Safe to say that in the U.S. science community, that's now the good old days. If you like this, please like and share.

In life after God (1993) by Douglas Coupland the main character mention drinking the retro drink Singapore sling with a HIV-positive guy. I wondered if it was because HIV is a retrovirus. Also in 1993 antiretroviral therapy wasn't good yet. Ok it was 2008 the discovery to HIV lead to a nobel prize.

The reason I knew about Roger Penrose before he got the Nobel Prize in physics, was not because of black holes - and black holes was because he got it. It was because he had written a book called The Empires New Mind, and because he's one of those who suggests the brain is a quantum computer, right?

You know, only two Nobel Prizes in Medicine or Physiology has been avoided for work in psychiatry - and one of those was for the lobotomy.

Lithium and forest are in their own way both Green Gold, Green Industry.

Nobel anecdote time -the invention of the lithium battery led to a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

As early as 2013 a Nobel prize in chemistry went to scientist behind algorithms.

2. Sestina is a form of poem that follow an algorithm, for the words in the last line in every stanza. I wanted to write code for what.
3. Here's sestina stanzas from above algorithm

We all know about Francis Crick, James Watson, and Rosalind Franklin. But the 1968 prize to Har Gobind Khorana, Marshall W. Nirenberg, and Robert W. Holley, was more about the DNA code. #p5 #py5 #python #digitalart #still_learning #vibecoding #dna #nobelprize #nobelprizeinmedicine

I call my work: "#2025". Not saying #Umeå is the most 2025-town in the world, and in 2025 we of course have AI that can age #JennaOrtega. Not sure what I'm saying.

Yeah #Wednesday. In jPod #DouglasCoupland wrote the obsession with High School is a North American thing.

#Python has been mentioned here. I can now write loops that draw figures.

Addendum for you familiar with molecular biology. It's doubtful I can write loops that translate the sequence “UGAUGCAGAUSS” into a peptide.

PS. If you know that sequence doesn't produce a peptide, give yourself a pat.

Today is Andrew Z. Fire’s birthday, famous for work on RNA interference. Being from 2011 my microbiology book describes CRISPR as a prokaryote version of RNAi, showing a connection between the two. Cool! Actually Jennifer Doudna also mentioned RNAi in her popular science book." #NobelPrize2006

I don’t think my mom listened as much to the radio as she did when I was growing up. There are more other forms of media now. But when I was growing up, my mom loved the radio. See, Guglielmo Marconi, 1874 - 1937, awarded the nobel prize in physics 1909, was born on this date. #nobelprize1909.

My way of communicating includes posting a screenshot from notes in obsidian. See if I want to do bioinformatics, I need to learn python - that sounds crazy difficult.

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.
