Nobel Prizes

I will be out of the country while the Nobel Prizes are awarded so you are on your own for Nobel Prize blogging.

I'll offer my predictions on the Nobel Prize in Medicine. I will go with three west coast scientists as one of the possible winners:

1) Elizabeth Blackburn, UCSF, for her work with Telomerase
2) Harry Noller, UCSC, for his work on the ribosome
3) Randy Schekman, UCB, for his work on the secretory pathway

Anyone else have any predictions? If Harry wins I will be disappointed to miss that massive party that will surely break out, but I will still keep my fingers crossed for him.
