The new field of optogenetics won the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine. Very cool technique to switch genes on and off with light. I recall I began writing about it sometime around 2004 and had a bunch of conversations with one of its inventors, Karl Deisseroth - now a Nobel winner.
I miss my career sometimes but I don't really miss the 5 am October wake-ups to do Nobel Prize stories.

⚕️ Gesundheitsversorgung in Haft: Es gibt viel zu verbessern! - sagt der "Verein demokratischer Ärztinnen und Ärzte"💉
Wer im Gefängnis sitzt, soll medizinisch so versorgt werden wie jemand mit gesetzlicher Krankenversicherung. So steht es im Gesetz, aber damit sind Gefangene rechtlich gerade nicht gesetzlich krankenversichert, sondern die Vollzugsanstalten stellen ärztliches Personal bereit.
Wie es in der Praxis aussieht, hat der Arbeitskreis Knast des Vereins demokratischer Ärztinnen und Ärzte, kurz vdää, untersucht. Zusammen mit dem Verein Solidarisches Gesundheitswesen hat er dazu eine Broschüre herausgegeben. In diesem Jahr ist die zweite, aktualisierte Auflage erschienen.
Darüber sprach ich heute für @RDL mit Dr. Nadja Rakowitz, der Pressesprecherin des vdää.

Huge congratulations to this year's winners of the #NobelPrize in #Physiology or #Medicine! 🎉 Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann & Georg Nagel are being honoured for developing #optogenetics - techniques for controlling genes with light.
Just got a phone call from the gynaecological surgeon with my pathology results. Clear for cancer, so whoop! No more treatment needed. We already had a dinner out booked for this week. It will now be a celebration. Enormous thanks to the NHS, which I remain in endless admiration of and gratitude to. #NHS #Cancer #Health #Medicine

“for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics”
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine goes to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel for optogenetics — switching individual neurons on and off with light. A light-sensitive protein from pond algae became the tool mapping the circuits behind memory, mood and disease.

TITLE: Opinion: Will Claude ever win a Nobel Prize for medicine?

On Monday morning, the Nobel Prize for medicine was announced. This year, I wonder: Will Claude or a future artificial intelligence agent ever win the most prestigious award for medical discovery?
Imagine a future AI agent responding to a scientist’s insightful prompt by successfully identifying a completely novel approach to curing cancer, along with a detailed and actionable plan for implementing it. Given the toll of cancer on our species, I suspect few today would consider that a bad outcome.

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine is announced today at 2:30 PM PKT. Frontrunners include the GLP-1 pioneers — the scientists whose discovery of a gut hormone became Ozempic and Wegovy, now taken by millions. Basic research to blockbuster drugs.
[Physicians] are activist human biologists watching the process of our patients' lives unfold over time...looking for the intervention that might make things better. We must learn to live in the world of uncertainty that marks human existence.
