Yesterday, she and the husband Edvard Moser presented the Nobel Prize in medicine. Until yesterday had 11 Norwegians received a Nobel Prize.
In Stockholm Concert Hall, this exclusive list expanded with two new names.
– It is a fantastic feeling. It’s a little unreal yet, but eventually it began to dawn on me. I was very, very nervous, but yes, said a very happy Edvard Moser to Sveriges Television immediately after he and his wife had been awarded the Nobel Prize of King Carl Gustafi yesterday afternoon. The Technology staff scientist was for the occasion dressed in tails, while his wife uses a specially designed dress that illustrated grid cells as the couple received the Nobel Prize for.
– The king was so sweet, said May-Britt Moser to SVT.
The couple share price by the American-British neuro scientist John O’Keefe.
Eight million
Besides a diploma and the famous Nobel medal in gold receive winners also has eight million in prize money. Four of these goes to O’Keefe, while four runs to Moser pair.
It was dramatically during the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo when a student picked up on the stage to the two laureates. Completely without drama did not awarding in Sweden either. A naked man should have tried to take into past barricades outside the concert hall.
According to the Swedish newspaper Expressen is this the third consecutive year that Swedish police had arrest a naked man person in connection with the Nobel ceremony in Stockholm.
After the presentation there was solemn banquet in the Blue Hall in Stockholm City Hall in Stockholm. Here got Swedish king May-Britt Moser as table lady during dinner.
With him had Moser couple also their two daughters Isabel and Aileen. They were also interviewed by Swedish television. – It was very touching. I’ve never been so proud in my life. They were so nice both said Aileen Moser to Swedish TV right after the ceremony. His sister was no less proud of their parents.
– You must be the most beautiful Nobel laureates that has existed, I think, says Isabel Moser.
The three scientists awarded the prize for the discovery of grid cells rats, which contributes to both rat and human sense of place.
– You pinpointed
– To be able to orient themselves, find and remember places you have been, are necessary for survival, both for humans and animals. We need brain and our inner GPS to get to. Today we know that the people have grid cells and place cells similar to those rats have. These cells have helped you find your way here tonight. Without these cells would you quickly gone astray, said Professor Ole Kiehn at Karolinska Institute when he presented the award.
Altogether eleven award recipients during the ceremony in Stockholm this year.
