Breaking: Ousted Syrian leader Assad reportedly hospitalized in Moscow after suspected poisoning.Nobel prize: chemistry. Underwhelming. Climate-change prize. Most bizarre headline: "US scientist of Palestinian origin among Nobel Prize winners in chemistry.
The prize committee has announced the three winners: Susumu Kitagawa from Japan, Richard Robson from Australia, and Omar Yaghi from the USA, born to Palestinian parents in Jordan."
- Arizona State University; now UC-Berkeley
- Kyoto University, Japan
- Australia, Melbourne
This is what will be story:
Omar M. Yaghi received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Yaghi was born to Palestinian refugees who settled in Jordan, and moved to New York for college. He “was in love with chemistry from the very beginning,” according to a statement from the University of California, Berkeley.
It will be interesting to see how AI puts their discovery in plain English. I don't get it at any level. But I can see how the nomination made it to the committee for final decision. "In love with chemistry from the very beginning." That was the best UC-Berkeley could do?

But, a Palestinian and global warming! Wow, that's a twofer.
