Love 😍 this....

New Nobel Prize winner Fred Ramsdall was NOT around to accept his Prize yesterday.

Why? He was "off the grid," "living his best life" on a hiking trip.

Som vanligt kommer fel författare att vinna. Årets Nobelpris i litteratur bör NATURLIGTVIS postumt tilldelas Willy Kyrklund.

Great to see @physoc.bsky.social President @annieneuro.bsky.social in the BBC News article about this week's Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.

"A striking example of how fundamental physiological research can have far-reaching implications for human health."

“The prize represents a triumph for the University of California system; Clarke remains at the University of California, Berkeley, and Devoret and Martinis are at the University of California, Santa Barbara. (Devoret also holds a position at Yale University.)”

Fred Ramsdell was parked at a campground in Montana on Monday when his wife suddenly started shouting. He first thought that maybe she had seen a grizzly bear. Instead, she had regained cell service and had seen a flood of text messages with the same news. “You just won the Nobel Prize!” she yelled.
