Trace here wrapping up
the coverage for DNews.

The Nobel Prizes were
announced over the last week,

and there were a couple
of surprises out there.

The prizes come in six
categories, chemistry,

economics, literature,
medicine, peace and physics.

This year, three scientists
shared the chemistry prize

for creating computer
models of molecules

so we don't have to use these
peg and ball ones anymore.

Canadian author, Alice Munro,
took the literature award home,

three Americans won the
Nobel Prize in medicine

for discovering how cells
transport things around.

The Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons

and the prize for physics
went to two scientists who

Economics doesn't get
handed out until Monday.

Kind of an incredible
list, don't you think?

The Nobel Prize for peace
is pretty existential.

Removing chemical
weapons is a great one,

in the face of a much
more powerful aggressor?

Mahatma Gandhi promoted a
free and independent India

Though his efforts helped
the Britons to quit India,

I think we all agree the idea
that DNA and genes passed

from parents to offspring is
pretty much a game changer,

but the scientists credited
for the discovery never

won the Nobel Prize for
physiology and medicine.

it wasn't a protein which
passed your hereditary traits

DNA since it was discovered.

was completed in 2003,

of the whole human, and still

There are so many more
of these, you guys.

The inventor of radio
telecommunications,

Nikola Tesla, never received
a prize for physics.

Robert Noyce, the
inventor of the microchip,

Fred Hoyle, who coined
the term the Big Bang,

claimed new elements were made
inside stars during fusion,

Leo Tolstoy, one of the most
critically acclaimed novelist

in human history, no Nobel medal
we're hanging around his neck.

And unfortunately for
some, once in awhile

you've got this great season
and it's hard to pick.

I mean, personally, I'd love
to see Malala Yousafzai win

The Taliban shot her
in the head for simply

She stood up to them
peacefully, survived,

I think the Nobel Prizes
are an incredible way

to show recognition for
humanity's best achievements.
