Congratulations to Robert G. Edwards to receiving the 2010 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Robert is widely known for inventing and promoting the in vitro fertilization procedure. In a way he has 'fathered' 4 million people.
Not bad.
And here's a toast to Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki for receiving the 2010 Nobel Prize for Palladium-catalyzed couplings in organic synthesis.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for protein structural biology Nobels in 2011.
Cheers,
Peter
