I've got hotels booked in Sweden just in case... Actually my current boss knows a guy who has done that in the past in anticipation of a win (and he hasn't won yet)

I'm always grateful for your announcements. The Grand Haven Tribune doesn't give good coverage of this.

Of course I know that Yamanaka is going to win eventually, but everyone is saying that it is too early for a nobel prize this year. I think I will put my money on him anyway. As for Chemistry, I will bet on Pat Brown, just because I know him, and if microarrays are ever going to win, they should hurry up before no one uses them anymore.
As for the rest of the catagories, I have no idea.

I would think that if you did to win a nobel prize, that somebody would already have a hotel room reserved for you.
If I won, I would demand a hotel room, along with a bowl of only red and orange Skittles waiting for me.

My boss would not admit who it was, but I think he was talking about a certain unnatural amino acid incoprorating chemical biologist at scripps with a very big head on his shoulders.

Your live blogging coverage of Nobel Prize week is invaluable, hopefully this year you'll get that Peabody.
