    I cannot emphasize how happy I am to see Jennifer win the nobel. I have been a fan since the first time I heard from CRISPR from a Kurzgesagt video, Jennifer is such a charismatic human being and since I read A crack in Creation I have fallen for all the potential that CRISPR has. I truly believe that CRISPR will be the tool that brings a better future for humanity, and that Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuele Charpentier will be immortalized in the ways of science and progress.

    BIG Congratulations! Yeah! Great job! Etc., etc., etc.
    Words cannot describe the pride UC Berkeley students, staff, academics and alumni are feeling right now. So proud to be a Bear! So proud to be the son and dad of a Bear as well.
    And this Bear survived four semesters of Chemistry at Cal. It wasn't easy; it wasn't pretty, but I survived!
    Plus my prized mountain bike was stolen between Pimentel and Latimer while I was in chem lab, leaving a permanent scar on my psyche! So many great memories of Cal, despite the pain & suffering!

      So cool you went there! Sorry to hear about your bike - I like to imagine when I lose stuff like that, it might have caused harm to still posses it. Maybe you would get into a horrible accident on that bike. Maybe it led to events actually saving your psyche. Luckily, despite the attachment, you are doing fine - it is just a bike after all - and you probably have another one :)

This reminds me of Michael Faraday telling his audience at the end of his demonstration on electricity, and in response to the query…"Mr. Faraday, the behavior of the magnet and the coil of wire was interesting, but of what possible use can it be?“ Faraday answered politely, "Sir, of what use is a newborn baby?”

    NO MAGNETIC FIELD NO LIFE ON EARTH
    What If Massive Solar Storm Hit the Earth?
    Almighty Allah says:
    وجعلنا السماء سقفا محفوظا و هم عن آياتها معرضون ( الأنبياء : ٣٢)
    " And We have made the sky as a roof withheld (from them).Yet they turn from its portents(which these things point to)
    (Qur'an,21:32)
    The verse indicates to the protection from solar storms, meteors bombardments and other cosmic strikes which pose a very serious threat to living things on Earth.
    Asteroids and meteorites have penetrated the atmosphere and hit the earth throughout the course of history.
    The word "السماء" (Sama) in above verse means the whole universe..
    It's meaning is vast.
    The " سقفا محفوظا" ( Protecting roof)
    has vast meaning which means all
    magnetic fields the modern science has come to know from original magnetic field to atmospheric layers around the earth.
    1. Troposphere
    2. Stratosphere
    3. Ozone
    4. Mesosphere
    5. Thermosphere
    6. Ionosphere
    7. Exosphere
    Functions of these layere are to protect Earth from :
    1- All weathers occur in troposphere. If these layers have not been existed, life could not be possible. Moreover most of Oxygen occurs in this region which is responsible for the life of Aerobic organisms.
    2. Ozone layer absorbs Ultra Voilet Radiations and thus protects life from hazardous radiations of the Sun.Moreover it provides "Green House Effect" which is responsible for maintaining comfortable temperature on Earth.
    3. Mesosphere burns up million of meteors striking the Earth and thus protects Earth from these meteors.
    4. Exosphere absorbs harmful radiations from the sun protecting layers underneath.
    These explanations make clear the meaning of " السماء" (sky) in the above mentioned verse.
    We could not understand what Almighty Allah meant by " A canopy
    well guarded" until we came to know
    findings of modern sciences.
    Who can tell us about 1500 years ago that our life on Earth well protected by these megnatic fields
    We are thankful of Almighty Allah for providing this " سقفا محفوظا".
    Almighty Allah says:
    " We shall show them Our Signs on the horizons and within their own selves until it will be clear unto them that He is the Truth.Doth not thy Lord suffice,since He is Witness over all things".

His article, published in Molecular Microbiology (Genetic cutting and paste technique) is not recognized or given the Nobel, in Spain it always happens the same Isaac Peral invented the first operational submarine in the world The submarine carried out in a junkyard, Juan de la Cierva invented the autogyro (predecessor of the helicopter) died in Great Britain without pain or glory.Moraleja? nothing is worth inventing in this country.

    The community should know that CRISPR was first identified by a Spanish scientist Francisco Monji (something like this name and he coined the name and published his work in Molecular Microbiology). Its application was demonstrated by another European scientist (I guess he is from Lithuania). Jennifer Doudna and her mate made it public, mitigating the original discoveries of those two poor scientists. I can't understand how much lobbying can make differences. Both of them should at least think about the truth. Both of them do not deserve a noble prize!! Period!!. First, it is just a technique. Second, it not their invention!!. It looks like getting noble is not so difficult. If you talk well, if you have a good lobby, it is yours. Noble should be given to discoveries for humankind and should not mean for money-making. For example, the noble prize for scientists elucidating Hepatitis C, which helped 71 million lives so far!!. Not for these individuals who are caring about making money!!

      You guys really are nothing but far from considering extinctionistic threats as a thing you should being worry about... Am I right?

      Treating scientific means as approaching a cute Labrador puppy video on the net it isn't the safest and more objectives way of acting. Promoting certain stuff without knowing anything at all about molecular and biochemical science it's just madness...

      @@antoniopacelli, Crispr Gene Drives might be the biggest threat, as we understand them today.
      And I would expect that Jennifer would be the first to readily agree that the ethics are a central issue to this technology.
      Think back to when scientists first figured out how to split the atom. The potential there was on the scale of horrific species extinction. And it still is. But for the past 75 years+, things have actually turned out quite well. Because of nukes, today we have amazing jet airliners, the internet, cell phones with GPS and digital cameras, and so much more. Even our Interstate Highway System happened as a result of splitting the atom.
      Most people don't understand how these marvels of modern life came about from nuclear technology. If anyone is interested, I'd be glad to explain it.
      But the point is that just because the potential for horrific outcomes exists, this does not necessarily mean that such horrors will actually happen. Crisper Cas9 could very well herald in an age of wonderful things. Just as the nuclear age has.
      Or we could even go all the way back to the turning point in humanity when we first learned how to harness fire. Imagine all those who predicted doom and gloom, in how we would burn everything to the ground. Did any of those naysayers imagine that one day, human ingenuity would figure out how to build vehicles which were powered by blocks of metal where inside there were thousands of fiery explosions every minute? All harnessed under perfect control. This transition to cars which liberated all our horses happened only about a century ago.
      If we are so fearful of technology, we have the option to join the Amish or the Mennonites.
      Or we can be students of history and study how the human species has so far managed to navigate our path mostly successfully, avoiding the worst of potential outcomes. Then use this track record of thousands of years to predict that we could very well be likewise successful in navigating the coming decades ahead. A future where we skillfully apply the technology of gene editing.
