Nobel Prize
John Cornforth had a talent for producing difficult chemicals. He was the first scientist to synthesise cholesterol, an important molecule needed to make hormones.
He received the 1975 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the focus of which was how the shape of a molecule, or its stereochemistry, is created, and how this affects its behaviour.
Cornforth investigated the role of enzymes – the biological catalysts that control important chemical reactions – by detailing how they construct the essential precursor for cholesterol, squalene, in the cell.
Creating squalene from its chemical building blocks involves a complicated 14-step procedure, and at each step, the enzyme must select which one of two hydrogen atoms it needs to remove. By substituting these atoms with deuterium atoms, which are heavier versions of hydrogen, Conforth could track which choice the enzyme makes at each stage to create the correct product.
Using variations of this technique, Cornforth revealed the chemical sculpting processes that occurs in several other biologically important reactions.
His work paved the way for the development of statins, medicines taken by around 30 million people, which help lower the level of low-density lipoprotein or “bad cholesterol” in the blood.

Nobel Prize
"Imagine what would happen if the nations of the world spent as much on development as on building the machines of war. Imagine a world where every human being would live in freedom and dignity. Imagine a world in which we would shed the same tears when a child dies in Darfur or Vancouver. Imagine a world where we would settle our differences through diplomacy and dialogue and not through bombs or bullets. Imagine if the only nuclear weapons remaining were the relics in our museums. Imagine the legacy we could leave to our children.
Imagine that such a world is within our grasp."
– Mohamed ElBaradei in his Nobel Peace Prize lecture delivered on 10 December 2005.
He was awarded the peace prize alongside the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) "for their efforts to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way."

After her mistake, she made the song her own. What a beautiful moment that we could all learn from

In that apology she became the song, she embodied every word that flows through its verses, in her humility she lay bare and naked its humble lyrics, she couldn’t have been better

This is how to honor your art while recognizing your own imperfection. Start, humbly apologize, and start again. And that itself is perfection.

She will never know how much this performance helped me in life, and what it taught me about dignity & recovery from my own anxious errors in life.

This song saved my life. I’m gay. I was owned by my family. I was homeless. I joined the military. I’m a veteran. I’m alive because of this song. Thank you.

“Sorry, I’m so nervous”. Her humbleness made me choke. It takes more power to remain humble and human than to fight for fame. God bless you Patti.

So thankful to have walked the earth the same time as Bob Dylan and Patti Smith. Patti's nerves and emotion performing this classic among Europe's elites is so poignant, heartfelt, ironic, it is impossible to not get emotional.

When she apologised with such genuine, child-like humility I burst into tears. Such an incredible performance made even more so by her incredible vulnerability and raw emotion. Wow...I LOVE YOU PATTI!!

Jesus she’s so real. I love the way she presents herself. No artifice, just human. So beautiful.

Only a true legend like Patti Smith could turn a mistake into something even more beautiful than what was intended. Now it's both an iconic performance, and also a life lesson on how to respond to our own slip-ups.

All pretense was sucked out of that room. We are vulnerable children wandering in an often brutal wilderness and Patti Smith reminded us - using Dylan's words - of that.

It was at the point at which she forgot the words, apologised with such beauty and humility, and began to sing again, that I really started to listen. Patti, you carry in your voice and in your heart the agonising insight into the depth and terror of those who feel. Wonderful, sexy, original and mesmerising, but above all, breathtakingly brave. Break the rules! Make mistakes! Begin again! You are the heart of light. Thank you.

The grandmother of the punk movement was nervous to sing, human like all of us
