Nobel Prize announcements are underway

[OmCheeto]

I just heard about this on Facebook.

CONGRATULATE YOSHINORI OHSUMI, awarded the 2016 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine.
"for his discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy"​

I have no idea what an "autophagy" is. But if someone wins a Nobel Prize for it, I should probably google that.
After my nap of course.

Upcoming schedule:

04 Oct: Physics
05 Oct: Chemistry
07 Oct: Peace
10 Oct: Economic Sciences
later__: Literature​

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded today, see

It was a pleasant surprise for me to see that one of the laureates is a Dutchman working in Groningen .

I could not find a thread on this yet (did I overlook it?) so perhaps one of the "chemically inclined" mentors (@DrClaude, @Borek, @Chestermiller,...) would like to start one? (Chemistry is well outside my domain of expertise.)
