During #HispanicHeritageMonth, we are reflecting on the history, culture, and contributions Hispanic Americans have made to science—specifically Severo Ochoa, who was awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research related to #DNA and #RNA.

Some interesting facts about Nobel prize in physiology and medicine. - the only criteria for you to be considered for Nobel prize is to make a “ground breaking discovery”. - you can not nominate yourself instead you are nominated by other scientists which might include deans of school, other Nobel laureates or anyone who receive a request for nomination. - those nominated for the Nobel prize never know they are nominated, the jury works in extreme secrecy. So it’s a surprise for those who wins the Nobel prize. #nobelprize2023 #physiologyandmedicine

The European University Alliance for Global Health (EUGLOH) celebrates its strong connections to 4 of this year’s Nobel Laureates. Underlining its expertise in Global Health, the Alliance can count among its professors one of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine as well as significant ties to all three winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics 👏🏼 Read more in our article 👇 https://lnkd.in/djrc7qU6 #EUGLOH #GlobalHealthAlliance #NobelPrize2023

On this day in science Linda Buck born. She jointly received the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Richard Axel. For their discoveries of odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system. In a series of pioneering studies the laureates have clarified in molecular detail how our sense of smell works. #research #medicine #chemical #science #nobelprize #medicalsciences #sciencecommunication #scienceandtechnology #chemistry

$1.5 Million Baszucki Prize in Science awarded to Columbia University's Dr. Martin Picard! Metabolic Mind's Bret Scher talks with Dr. Martin Picard about what winning the inaugural Baszucki Prize in Science means for his lab, which is pioneering the field of mitochondrial psychobiology. As Dr. Picard explains, mitochondria power life's experiences. His work explores how these tiny organelles, which populate all our cells, transform energy to fuel our mind-body connection. Dr. Picard's mission is to integrate energy metabolism into a new framework that reimagines how medicine is practiced and taught. In this video, learn more about the prize, the field of mitochondrial psychobiology, and Dr. Picard's ground-breaking work: https://lnkd.in/ggyQ6HTz

*****HEISENBERG'S UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE & HOW IT AFFECTS US****** In 1927 Heisenberg shook the world of Physics when he enunciated a rather simple-sounding rule: "One cannot at the same time measure both the position and velocity of an electron." He called this the "Uncertainty Principle".......For the first time scientists had to admit there was one bit of knowledge which they could never acquire.....although applied to multiple fields of knowledge, it is a good general rule in biology and medicine: rarely can one measure a phenomenon without modifying that phenomenon. In cardiovascular physiology, by the act of measuring, we can change the variable, the cardiovascular system or the entire animal itself. (Excerpts from C. Prys-Roberts. The Circulation in Anaesthesia. University of Bristol.)
