The first week of October is usually Nobel week. Check out the science winners:
The Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology goes to 3 Americans for discovering the Hepatitis C virus, which affects millions of people worldwide.
The Nobel Prize in Physics goes to 3 (a Brit, German, and American woman; only the 4th woman in history for a Physics Nobel!) who did pioneering work in black hole research.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to 2 women for the first time, for developing CRISPR technology and methods.
And congratulations to the World Food Programme, which won the Peace Prize - they fed over 100,000,000 people this past year around the world, during the COVID pandemic. Amazing!
