1 “Nobel Prize In Chemistry”

2 Sweden – On Wednesday morning the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to researchers Jacques Dubochet (Switzerland), Joachim Frank (U.S.), and Richard Henderson (U.K.), for their work that developed cryo-electron microscopy, which the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences says "both simplifies and improves the imaging of biomolecules.” Cryo-electron miscropy "is about to completely transform structural biology," noting that the technology is being taken up by a new generation of medical researchers. The academy adds that the advance "has moved biochemistry into a new era" and provided new ways of seeing complex operations that take place within human cells at a never-before-seen level of resolution. Laureates earn a Nobel medal, diploma and a monetary prize amount for 9.0 million Swedish kronor per full Nobel Prize (roughly $1.1 million U.S. dollars). The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded 109 times to 178 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2017.

3 In Other News Tesla gets more than its fair share of media hype, but it appears to be stumbling in the spotlight. Citing "production bottlenecks," Tesla reported this week that it delivered only 220 Model 3 sedans and produced 260 in September. That's far below some pretty ambitious goals set out by its CEO, Elon Musk. The Model 3 is Tesla's attempt to enter the mainstream. The all-electric car, which began production in July, starts at $35,000. That price tag placed it well within the range of the average American new-car buyer. The company predicted in previous months that it expected production to "achieve a rate of 5,000 Model 3 vehicles per week by the end of 2017." Here are the most obscenely gerrymandered congressional districts in America (interesting article)
