Comments on: Two Women Awarded the Nobel in Medicine http://www.harpyness.com/2009/10/06/two-women-awarded-the-nobel-in-medicine/ As narrated by the most charming and vicious women on the internet Tue, 16 Apr 2013 13:13:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Constant Gina http://www.harpyness.com/2009/10/06/two-women-awarded-the-nobel-in-medicine/comment-page-1/#comment-16350 Constant Gina Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:22:01 +0000 http://www.harpyness.com/?p=10711#comment-16350 It’s worth noting that 1) Greider was Blackburn’s grad student but Blackburn shared the glory (unlike several male recipients) and 2) Blackburn was the scientist who got fired from the Bush “bioethics panel” for daring to inject some reality into the stem cell debate.

So I looked around, and it turns out that Dr. Blackburn holds dual citizenship: AUS and USA. I’m proud enough for two whole continents!

Dr Elizabeth Blackburn is Australian born, I have no idea about her current citizenship status, so in Australia we too are celebrating her Nobel prize win as the first Australian woman to have been awarded the Nobel prize and the 11th Australian overall.

Its a fantastic win, and its great that we can share such a fantastic and gifted woman.

Hooray for women in science. My best friend just got her degree in biochemistry and I am so proud of her.

I just donated (a year or so ago) money to my all-girls high school because they were adding on new kick-ass up to the minute science facilities. The project was entitled “Celebrating Women in Science.” Here’s to even more women winning the Nobel in science related fields!
