On October 3, Beijing time, the list of winners of the "2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine " was announced. Swedish scientist Svante Pääbo won the award for his discovery of the genome of the extinct human race and the human evolution . He will receive a bonus of 10 million Swedish Kroner (approximately 6.42 million yuan). In response, many experts said that they were "upset" and "unpopular".
As usual, the list of winners of Nobel Prize will be announced in early October each year, and then a prize dinner will be held on December 10th. Due to the epidemic, no award ceremony was held from 2020 to 2021, and the Nobel Prize Committee announced that it would re-organize. Therefore, the 2020 and 2021 Nobel Prize winners will join the latest 2022 winners to attend the award ceremony and dinner held in Stockholm, Sweden in December.
About the Nobel Prize
11-27, Swedish chemist and inventor of nitroglycerin explosives, Alfred Bernhard Nobel, signed his final will, giving the largest portion of the property to a series of awards, namely the Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize was initially divided into five awards: physics, chemistry, physiology, or medicine, literature, and peace. In 1968, on the 300th anniversary of its establishment, the Swedish National Bank donated a large amount of funds to the Nobel Fund and added the "Swedish National Bank commemorating the Nobel Prize in Economic Science", commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economic Science .
The Nobel Prize prize comes from the interest or investment income of the fund established by the Nobel Prize. As the returns of the Nobel Fund change, the Nobel Prize bonus has fluctuated. The amount of Nobel Prize in 2022 is set to 10 million Swedish kroner per Nobel Prize, which is approximately RMB 6.42 million.
