[ad_1]
The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the Norwegian writer Jon Fosse “for his innovative plays and prose that express the unspeakable.” The day before, the most prestigious scientific award in chemistry was awarded to Mungi Bawenda, Louis Brus and Oleksiy Yekimov for the discovery and development of quantum dots. The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausch and Anna L’Huillet for the creation of incredibly short pulses of light. And the “Nobel” in physiology and medicine was given to Katalin Kariko from Hungary and Drew Weissman for discoveries that allowed the development of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. The award involves a reward of about 1 million dollars. The award ceremony will take place in Stockholm on December 10, the anniversary of the death of the founder of the Nobel Prize, Alfred Nobel. The other day, the Nobel Foundation announced that it had canceled its invitation to representatives of Russia, Belarus and Iran to participate in this year’s ceremony. Earlier, Swedish and Ukrainian political leaders, as well as the Belarusian opposition, condemned the possible presence of the envoys of these authoritarian countries at the prestigious awards ceremony, which takes place every year in the Norwegian capital, Oslo.
