Women sweep the Chemistry Nobel!
It is traditional to lead with the news on the Nobel Peace Prize as that is considered the most important prize, but this year we feel there is one win that is even more important. For the first time in Nobel Prize history, a science Nobel has been given to all-women team. This year, the women making history are American scientist Jennifer Doudna and her French partner Emmanuelle Charpentier who have won the Chemistry Nobel for creating a gene technology called CRISPR. Read all about why they won in our issue's lead story.
