...Almost forgot.

One more thing I thought was really interesting about this Nobel award in chemistry.... Alfred Nobel accumulated his wealth through many things but he is the noted inventor of the explosive dynamite. One of the niftiest things that researchers are trying to do is to make an organism produce fluorescence, via GFP, in the presence of TNT. This would be useful in the location of unexploded bombs in mine fields in war torn countries. I would like to think that Nobel would be proud.
