"The Norwegian #Nobel committee has decided to award the 2023 Nobel peace prize to #NargesMohammadi for her fight against the oppression of women in #Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all,” the committee said in its citation.
As much as I like and respect her, I honestly don't think she was the best candidate for the prize. Nasrin Sotudeh the lawyer and human rights activist would have been a much more worthy of the prize, but sadly the mod in the west is just focus on women in Iran and not the advocate who has lost almost everything in her fight against juvenile cases and #DeathPenalty against them and others.
Unfortunately #NasrinSotuddh is not in line with the propaganda of the west against #Iran and her tireless fight doesn't have the popularity of the one fighting for women's rights.
Any way, I am so happy for her to win this prize and I hope it doesn't change her into yet another pawn in the selective human rights concerns of naive public and charlatans like Alinejad and Pahlavi.

Jon Fosse Is awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature
The Norwegian writer was honored “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.” The prize is awarded for a writer’s entire body of work.

Hungarian scientist Katalin Kariko and U.S. colleague Drew Weissman, who met in line for a photocopier before making mRNA molecule discoveries that paved the way for COVID-19 vaccines, won the 2023 Nobel Prize for Medicine on Monday.
"The laureates contributed to the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times," the Swedish award-giving body said in the latest accolade for the pair.

“Making molecules is hard work. Atoms must be stitched together into specific arrangements through a series of chemical reactions that are often slow, convoluted and wasteful. The 2021 Nobel Prize in chemistry recognizes two scientists who developed a tool at the turn of the century that revolutionized how chemists construct new molecules, making the process faster and more environmentally friendly.”

“Making new drugs or designing novel materials often requires building new molecules from simpler chemical building blocks. But these chemical building blocks can’t just be thrown together. Instead, they must be carefully combined in precise arrangements through a series of chemical reactions. Many chemical reactions produce two versions of a molecule that are mirror images of one another, and often those two versions can have very different effects. For example, thalidomide, a drug prescribed in the 1950s and ‘60s for morning sickness, caused birth defects in more than 10,000 babies because of one mirror image of this molecule (SN: 12/24/94). Consequently, building these asymmetric molecules and controlling which version of a molecule gets produced is extremely important, especially for drug development.”

The scientists who discovered a set of specialized receptors for temperature and pressure have just won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
These receptors, TRPV1 and TRPV8 in particular, are shown to be central to mediating acupuncture's effects at the cellular level. The more modern science learns about how the body works, the more it learns about how acupuncture works.
