This year the Nobel committee has awarded the Prize for Physiology or Medicine to Harald zur Hausen for his discovery of human papilloma viruses (HPV) causing cervical cancer and to Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier for their discovery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The announcement was made via the Nobel organisation’s Twitter page and on their site.
Thank you to scientists everywhere who contribute to the health and well-being of us all and whose research shows tangible results within their own lifetime. It's nice to be appreciated but even better to know that your job is saving lives.
