There is talk this year of whether the award to Chalfie/Shimomura/Tsien unfairly left out Prasher. That's a moving and somewhat upsetting story, but the final decision seemed okay. Likewise, I think the committee chose well with Montagnier. Aaron, in the case of multiple awards, the committee must narrow their award to no more than three people.

It's a relief and a brief escape from the weird world that deliriously celebrates Sarah Palin. Thanks, Sam, for devoting a column to the prizes in economics and chemistry.

Krugman seems almost eerily prescient. As for GFP, well, I'm among the first to use it as a reporter gene for transfections. Used it today, in fact. I heard Dr. Tsien give a talk at Los Alamos National Labs some years back, when I went for some advanced training. Interesting field in its own right, the fluorescent proteins and muteins.
