Chemistry Prize

The 2006 Nobel Prize in chemistry will go to Stanford biologist Roger Kornberg, who discovered how cells read genetic information encoded in DNA. Kornberg is the second in his family to win the prize -- his father Arthur won the 1959 Nobel Prize in medicine for his own work on DNA. (from NPR)

Well - Dr. Lenny missed howdt again. But the Nobel Prize demonstrates the importance of research work. You have to first search, then build a mental image and then look for ways to support or knock down your hypothesis. Dr. Lenny's current reasearch is focused in two areas - micronutrient stabilization and non-degradative material extraction from natural resources. There is much to be done in focusing down to manageable - i have several years of data to verify and work into a form that is publishable - which is the first criteria for scientific dissemination. Er - for getting the word out.
