2018 Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physiology or Medicine

In 2018 the Nobel Prize was awarded to twelve individuals in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, peace, and economics. (The prize for literature was postponed.)

Here is a tweet from a son of Dr. George Smith, who was one of three people to win a Nobel Prize in chemistry.

My dad just won the #Nobel prize for putting the red thingy into the blue thingy so it hooks on to the yellow thingy! #NobelPrize #phagedisplay #chemistry https://t.co/ngUyLgtKRj

The Physiology of Swearing

Joe Rogan -- comedian, martial artist, and podcast host -- did a podcast today with Dr. Andrew Weil -- author and doctor of integrative medicine. Tuning in during the middle of the podcast, I was lucky to catch a clip of Dr. Weil talking with Joe about swearing. Joe commonly uses colorful language to season his wide-ranging and thoughtful interviews. Though I think Dr. Weil caught Joe a little off-guard by bringing up the topic, Dr. Weil had some fascinating insights into the subject and the gentlemen had a great exploratory conversation about the physiological and cultural aspects of swearing. Apparently it is a subject that Dr. Weil has researched.
