A warm hug from a parent, child, friend can work magic. Congratulations to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian on receiving #NobelPrize for Physiology and Medicine for discovering what makes the magic possible — how we can feel touch and temperature. (1/3)
How we sense touch and temperature is a small miracle — in fact, the miracle is the size of a protein molecule. The shapes of various proteins are changed by pressure or heat, opening a gate for ions to flow into cells, which fire neurons. So cool! #NobelPrize. (2/3)
Today’s #NobelPrize winners David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian — both Americans: one born in Brooklyn, NY, the other in Beirut, Lebanon. Let’s keep America a magnet for scientists from around the globe and a force for improving our world. (3/3)
