- SalahEddine 10y agoThis is great
- chuckwnelson 10y agoI really wish they would film/broadcast/live-stream this. It'd be nice to have some production behind it to make it apart of the general public.
- cloudwizard 10y agoThen they would need to get some hot actresses to present the awards. Sort of like the Oscar tech awards.
- dekhn 10y agoYou mean, instead of Morgan Freeman, who was the presenter this year?
- dekhn 10y agoI'm so thrilled that Harry Noller got this prize. he was my undergrad advisor and I learned biochem from him. His work on ribosomes has been great, and the fact he didn't get the Nobel (his competitor) did was always a sore point in the community.
