Scientist on three-week off-grid hike finds out he’s won the Nobel prize
US scientist Fred Ramsdell was in the last day of a three -week walk with two dogs, where Mrs. O’neill suddenly screamed in the depths of his wife Laura O’Neill and Montana’s gray bear.
However, it was not a predator that disturbed the silence of out -of -network holidays: a short message that was a short message of news that Dr Ramsdell won the Nobel Medical Award.
When the Nobel Committee tried to call it, Dr Ramsdell, who was in the plane mode, said to the BBC’s Newshour program when his wife said “You won the Nobel Prize for the Nobel Prize.”
Ms. O’Neill said that there are 200 text messages suggesting that she had.
Dr Ramsdell won an award for his research with two other scientists. How does the immune system attack enemy infections.
The winners share a prize fund worth 11 million Swedish crowns (£ 870,000).
After receiving the Ms. O’Neill messages, the couple went to a small town in Montana to look for a good phone signal.
Dr Ramsell, “Until then, it was probably the clock trio, where I called the Nobel Committee in the afternoon. Of course they were in bed, because it was probably an hour in the morning.” He said.
Finally, he was able to reach his award -winning friends, friends and officials in the immunologist Nobel Assembly – 20 hours after trying to reach him first.
“So it was an interesting day,” he said.
Secretary General of the Nobel Assembly Thomas Perlmann said it was the most difficult attempt to communicate with a winner since his role in the New York Times in 2016.
“He was experiencing his best life, and Sonoma Biothepeutics, a spokesman for his laboratory, came out of the grill on a pre -planned walk trip.”
When the BBC was asked if his wife thought that he might be a trick he could play on him, Dr Ramsdell said: “I have a lot of friends, but they’re not coordinated enough to make this joke, but not with many.”
Laureates, who learned that they had won the award, was often the last event in comic book history.
In 2020, economist Paul Milgrom drew the phone when he said he won Nobel for the economy in the middle of the night – the Nobel Committee.
Instead, the joint winner Bob Wilson was dressed in his pajamas and had to deliver the news from the security camera at the front door.
When a journalist informed Roma Doris Lessing that he had won the 2007 Nobel Prize for Literature, “Ah, Christ”.
