And the prize goes to... Israel.

This is a time of the year, than Nobel prices are giving out by Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. I am happy to announce that this year academy price would go to Israel. Today Ada Yonath received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, together with Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Thomas A. Steitz, for her studies on the structure and function of the ribosome.

I would like to post a map of distribution of Nobel price winners through out the world. Looks like Boston, San Francisco, Washington and London left others far behind. Israel look like an island in the middle east/ Asia area. Chicago is doing well to, probably due to School of Economics in University of Chicago.

Enjoy the map!!!! Have not posted them in a while.
