Wo sind bloss die Erwachsenen in den USA?

@MFrauchi Äs isch himmeltrürig

Statement from the Nobel Foundation One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed. For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-re…

@OdedRechavi Did the same during my postdoc. I used Cryptosporidium instead of pea plants though. 😂 #genetics101

Gregor Mendel spent seven to eight years crossing and scoring tens of thousands of pea plants. In contemporary terms, this is known as “a postdoc”

Being with you has been a blast, and it still is! #anniversary
