A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology
Congratulations to our 2024 medicine laureate Victor Ambros β¨
This morning he celebrated the news of his prize with his colleague and wife Rosalind Lee, who was also the first author on the 1993 'Cell' paper cited by the Nobel Committee.

Awesome to see that some of the winners are papers from 5+ years ago. TBH still holding out hope that our "perytons are microwave ovens" paper will be nominated for one of these someday. @improbresearch
@jenphelan3 Delta was diagnosed with early-onset arthritis at 5 1/2 years old a few months ago. She's only got arthritis in her front shoulder but it was causing her quite a lot of trouble. She started Librela and it helped her so much! She's back to her old self. Hoping it helps Kiki!
Well, that's it. I've peaked in life having been cited in XKCD *and* making it into the alt text. Going to retire to nerd heaven now.

Secretly hoping my colleagues at Perimeter, who mostly know me for non-research stuff, do their daily @xkcd check and think "hey, that's Emily's last name!" π
