Notes From All Over -- Part 3 -- The Nobel Prize Edition -- October 6, 2021

For the second time in three years, no women have won a Nobel Prize in the scientific awards.

This morning, the newest winners announced.

By the way, see if you can find the research organization from which these winners came at this link. Nor does the article mention how the winners self-identify. Perhaps some identify as women. Worse: I did not know that CNN saw the human race as binary.

• chemistry: Benjamin List (German) and Cavid McMillan (US-based Scottish chemist) -- new method for "creating" organomolecules; in 2000 the two researchers uncovered a third kind of catalyst, called asymmetric organocatalysis;
• physiology and medicine: David Julius (UC San Francisco) and Ardem Patapoutian (Howard Hughes Medical Institute) (both American, I believe);
• physics: Syukuro Manabe (Princeton), Klaus Hasselmann (German), and Giorgio Parisi (Italian) (by rule, no more than three can win in any category)
• literature: later this week
• peace: later this week
  
• economics: Monday, next week
