Nobel Prizes
Genes, Viruses and Cellular Signaling
by Erling Norrby"In this, the fifth in a series of volumes, Erling Norrby takes us on an in-depth tour of the documents and the underlying science for the 1969 to 1971 Nobel prizes in physiology or medicine. Elucidating both the scientific discoveries themselves, as well as the evaluations by the committee, often over a period of some years, we learn about the identification of fundamental biological processes such as the replication and genetic structure of viruses (1969), the release, storage and inactivation of neurotransmitters (1970) and a general mechanism of hormone action (1971)..."

Exploring Complexity For four centuries our sciences have progressed by looking at its objects of study in a reductionist manner. In contrast complexity science, that has been evolving during the last 30-40 years, seeks to look at its objects of study from the bottom up, seeing them as systems of interacting elements that form, change, and evolve over time. Complexity therefore is not so much a subject of research as a way of looking at systems. It is inherently interdisciplinary, meaning that it gets its problems from the real non-disciplinary world and its energy and ideas from all fields of science, at the same time affecting each of these fields.
