Nobel prize winners 2008

Medicine prize goes to virus researchers; physics prize given for symmetry-breaking work.

Two French virologists who discovered HIV share this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with a German oncovirologist who showed that human papilloma virus (HPV) causes cervical cancer. The Nobel Prize in Physics went to two Japanese researchers and a Japanese-born American for their work on symmetry breaking in subatomic physics.

Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier identified the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS in 1983, while working at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. They originally called it lymphadenopathy associated virus (LAV).

Harald zur Hausen, former director of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, Germany, was honoured for going against the prevailing dogma to discover that it was not a herpes simplex virus that causes cervical cancer, but in fact HPV.

The physics prize went to Japan's Makoto Kobayashi of the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba and Toshihide Maskawa of Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics at Kyoto University for discovering the origin of the 'broken symmetry' that contributed to a preponderance of matter over antimatter in the Universe. They share the prize with Yoichiro Nambu of the Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago in Illinois, who discovered the mechanism by which spontaneous broken symmetry occurs in particle physics.

Symmetry breaking describes how symmetrical systems can suddenly show a preference for one direction over another. As a simple example, imagine balancing a pencil on its tip. Viewed from the top, the balanced pencil appears symmetrical, but after a time it will fall and point in a single direction.

The above information was adopted from Nature Published online 8 October 2008 Nature 455, 712-713 (2008)

OMG, discovering the HIV virus seems to be one of the biggest discoveries on EARTH, after all the disease plague the whole world , and without its initial discovery of the virus.....no development of diagnostic tools, blood screening agents and drugs would have happened!!! I wondered why they honour these 2 virologist so late??

I DUN GET THE PENCIL THINGY.....if you dun hold it firm/tight, and put it on its tip, definitely it will drop, wont it??? i really ponder how tis theory apply to particle phsyic? It definitely look puzzling to me!!!! HAHA, but i'm lazy to read it out, as if my stuff to read is not enuf. Somebody who understand the theory please sumarize and comment it for me please. TQTQ

MEi Fung Senior Convo!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO MS.PANG MEI FONG.....HAHAHA, you have finished your MSc!!!


In C8 lab, gathering and waiting for convocation later in the evening!!!

The time is right for the MR RIGHT??? ( SORI lo, not him) to send Mei Fong her bouquet of flower now!!!

Pretty, pretty bouquet of flower!!

Me v Mei fong :)

Mei Fong with Dr.Ng (her SUPERVISOR), they both look like sisters , rite?? HAHAH

A group of photo of me, cym, mei fong, dr.Ng, ypy and tmc!!! COngrates again to u Oooooo!!!

Chiling Waterfall.......Yeah!!!

Randy organised this trip to hiling Waterfall located at Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB) on the way to Fraser's hill. Planned this trip several times, canceled then finally it's ON, YEAH!!!

Gathering at Randy's house before departure.

The KKB ampang pecah new dam


Well, this was the entrance to Chiling waterfall, looked weird rite??? We entered and turned back when the route doesn't seem to lead us anywhere. We left at first and went on down the road to find a place that looks more likely to be the entrance to chiling waterfall, in the end we asked a motorist and discovered that the entrance we entered in the 1st place writing 'santuari ikan sg.chiling' was in fact the correct entrance. Haha. So we walked in again.
After 10-15mins of walking, we reached the recreation park. THe photo below showed the map to Chiling waterfall. If you look properly at the map, u have to cross 5 streams (the 1st one is jz vyvyvy small stream, if you count that in then altogether are 6river crossings). It is not advisable to go Chiling waterfall when the water level is high as it can reached your waist level.

After writing our details at the pondok, we embarked on our journey to Chiling waterfall.

The starting trek was full of puddles of muddy water. It's better to wear slippers instead of shoes or boots. 1st river crossing!!!

2nd river crossing!!!

3rd river crossing!!!

4th river crossing!!!

5th river crossing!!!


Jiun Yong posing as?? HAHAH
The Chiling waterfall from afar.

Ang Mo oso here!!!

I like this pic!!!!!

Jiun Yong daring himself to swim against the rushing water!!!


Daring himself to get closer to the waterfall!!!
Stephen made it to the middle of the rushing water!!

Haha, randy trying to bring pey pey to the middle of the rushing water too!!!

Cool Pic!!!

Duno who stacked the rocks there!!! Looks very artistic, but in the end, before we left, we hit it down , hahah!!!

The waterfall at closer look. Well, the waterfall is nice to look at more than for fun, hahaha. The water current is too strong in the middle and if you duno how to swim, then sori lar!!! You can only soak yourself at the pool.

Jiun Yong's gf!!! She's wrapping herself up, so cold meh?

All of us!!

Peter took this pretty butterflies sucking minerals from the mud.

We had a change after we got back to the starting point. It's good that it actually have a washroom for changing but it's not well-managed actually.

Last group photo before leaving the sg.chiling water


Well, it was a fun trip, 1st time experience 5 river crossing to actually get to a waterfall, haha. It was so much fun to cross those rivers. Arigatou to Randy for organizing this trip :)
