This is a very special time of year when the scientific minds receive calls from Stockholm with a message from the Noble Prize Assembly, awarding the most prestigious distinction in various fields of science and arts: Noble Prize. Awarded since 1901, Noble is received in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology and Medicine, Literature, and Peace. Certainly, criteria of selecting candidates and the process of identifying the winners are dependent on each field and have been kept private and secret by the Assembly. Anybody can be nominated but the verification of achievements is very strict and often surprising. On a trivia-interest note, the youngest scientist awarded Noble was Fredrick Banting, who received it in 1923 for discovery of insulin. In 1903 and 1911, the award was given to a Polish-French chemist, Marie Curie-Sklodowska, whose life-long laboratory work led to discovery and practical, also medical, use of radiation. global warming science but, thanks to their Marie died from her own discovery, very mathematical and physical studies, being exposed to enormous amount of for the first time, connections between unprotected radiation for years.
