Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel
Prize Announcements
Two scientists who have won praise for research into the growth of cancer cells could be can-didates for the Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days of Nobel announcements.
Australian-born U. S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for their enzyme research and experts say they could be among the front-runners for a Nobel.
Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U. S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004,who shared the prizewith Richard Axel.
Among the pair&39;s possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans Ronald Evans arid Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone re-ceptors.
As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presen-ting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm&39;s Karolinska Institute.
Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the cat-egories of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace. The economics prize is technicallynot a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden&39;s central bank.
Nobel left few instructions on how to select winners, but medicine winners are typically awar-ded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research.
Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronor (US $1.3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists.
"&39; Individual researchers probably don&39;t look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they&39;re at work," Jornvall told The Associated Press. "They get their kicks from their re-search and their interest in how life functions. "
In 2006.Blackburn, of the University of California, San Francisco, and Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work set the stage for research suggesting that cancel ceils use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growth.

I have been very lucky to have won the Noble Prize twice. It is, of course, very exciting to have such an important recognition of my work, but the real pleasure was in the work itself. Scientific research is like an exploration of a voyage of discovery. You are continually trying out new things that have not beendone before. Many of them will lead nowhere and you have to try something different, but sometimes an experiment does work and tells you something new and that is really exciting. However small the new finding may be, it is great to think "I am the only person who knows this" and then you will have the fun of thinking what this finding will lead to and deciding what will be the next experiment. One of the best things about scientific research is that you are always doing something different and it is never boring. There are good times when things go well and bad times when they don't. Some people get discouraged at the difficult times but when I have a failure, my policy has always been not to worry but to start planning the nextexperiment, which is always fun. It is very exciting to make a new discovery. Some people will do the strangest things for this excitement, such as going round the world in a balloon or walking to the North Pole. There are not many new places to explore but there is a lot of new information to be discovered in science and a journey into this unknown area can be much more worthwhile and just as exciting. I'm sometimes asked, "What do you have to do to win a Noble Prize?" My answer is, "I don't know. I have never tried. " But I know of one way not to win. There are some people whose main reason for doing science is to win prizes and they are always thinking about how to do it. Such people don't succeed. To do good science you must be interested in it and enjoy doing experiments and thinking out problems. And, of course, you must be prepared to work hard and not to be too discouraged by failures. 1. In the writer's eyes his greatest pleasure in all his lifetime is____. A. to win the Nobel Prize for the first time B. to be awarded the Nobel Prize for the second time C. in the work itself D. to have a much more important recogniition of his work 2. Why did the writer think scientific research to be one of the best things? A. You will be able to win the Nobel Prize through the scientific research. B. You can make as much money as possible by doing the scientific research. C. You may continue doing with something different and exciting, and so you can never be tired of doing the scientific research. D. You can get much more chances of promotion(晋级) by making the scientific research. 3. What would the writer do when he had a failure? A. He would forget this failure and start the next experiment. B. He used to be womed about it for several days and never forget it. C. He always gave up his study as the result of the failure. D. He used to think out the reasons and then continue to do it again. |
