Arh....It is not Elizabeth Blackburn

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2007 was announced yesterday. I used to guess Elizabeth as the best candidate but it turned out to be

Mario R. Capecchi, Sir Martin J. Evansand and Oliver Smithies

"for their discoveries of principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of embryonic stem cells"

Congrat.

Elizabeth born in Tasmania, I will support you again in 2008 for your work in discovering telomerase.
