Nobel Prize in Chemistry

With the approach of the German army to Paris, Marie Curie was forced to retrain in the absence of the ability to research radium. She came up with an idea - to equip vehicles with X-ray devices and bring them close to the front to better diagnose the wounded soldiers. Even the concept of an ambulance did not exist yet
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2022 was awarded to three scientists working in the field of synthetic chemistry: Caroline Bertuzzi (Carolyn R. Bertozzi), Morten P. Meldal (Morten P. Meldal) as well as Karl Barry Sharpless (KarlBarrySharpless), thanks to "the development of 'click' chemistry and bio-orthogonal chemistry". This is Sharples' second win in chemistry - the previous one was in 2001
