Another scientist whose work initially didn't get the recognition that it deserved - Victor Ambros was denied tenure at Harvard, even after publishing the seminal work that resulted in him receiving the Nobel Prize today!
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Well worth the short listen. Congratulations to Victor and Gary, C. elegans scientists and really all basic scientists!
“Have you been getting calls from Sweden?” Victor Ambros’ son woke his up this morning with a surprising question. We speak to Ambros about his first reactions after being awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
