"The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute has today decided to award the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, jointly to Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm."
Thomas Perlmann, Secretary of the Nobel Assembly shortly after 5:30 this morning Eastern time.
"Jeffrey Hall was born in New York and performed his seminal work at Brandeis University. He's not retired and lives in Cambridge, in Boston. Michael Rosbash was born in Oklahoma City and performed his prize-winning studies also at Brandeis University where he's still on the faculty. And finally, Michael Young was born in Miami and did his work at Rockefeller University in New York where he also remains on the faculty...ever since the emergence of life on Earth about four billion years ago, evolving life forms had to adapt to the rotation of our planet. This ability to prepare for the regular daily fluctuation is crucial for life forms, but how is this possible?"

"This year's Nobel Laureates have been studying this fundamental problem and solved the mystery of how an inner clock in most of our cells in our bodies can anticipate daily fluctuations between night and day to optimize our behavior and physiology...since the paradigm shifting discoveries by Hall, Rosbash and Young, circadian biology has developed into a highly dynamic research field with vast implications for our health and well-being."
For an in-depth listen about the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, look for the Scientific American Science Talk podcast later today.

“卡罗林斯卡医学院诺贝尔奖委员会今天决定将2017年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予杰弗里·霍尔、迈克尔·罗斯巴什和迈克尔·杨，以表彰他们在分子机制控制生理节奏方面的发现4P9^0KTaW,。”
美国东部时间今早5点30分刚过，诺贝尔委员会秘书托马斯·佩尔曼公布了此消息7U-nTDy3,8。
“杰弗里·霍尔出生在美国纽约，在布兰戴斯大学进行影响深远的研究工作BZ!t7w@.JX_5Nl3。现在他尚未退休，居住在波士顿坎布里奇MPNi%]h%)q。迈克尔·罗斯巴什出生在俄克拉荷马城，进行获奖研究的地点同样是布兰戴斯大学，而且至今仍在职~HnY%9.ZG@。最后，迈克尔·杨出生在迈阿密，在纽约洛克菲勒大学从事研究工作，目前也在职KQmSLr%]tt5_85+P。自从约40亿年前地球上出现生命以来，进化的生命形态不得不适应地球的自转9[P_@#!E=T;3f。适应每日规律变化的能力对生命形态至关重要，不过这是怎么成为可能的呢？”
