“It’s absolutely extraordinary.” John Jumper just heard the news of his 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry when we spoke to him. His plan was to sleep in today - it didn’t quite work out. He talks about AI's role in science – and being the youngest chemistry laureate in over 70 years.

Start off your week by being inspired by chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi. During his Nobel Prize banquet speech, Yaghi recounted his journey to becoming a scientist, which began in a refugee family far from any lab. A visit to a library led to him discovering the magic of chemistry. He was awarded the 2025 chemistry prize “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.” Enjoy the full speech:

“Some people thought it was a whole load of rubbish. But it didn’t turn out that way.” When 2025 chemistry laureate Richard Robson came up with an idea to build a new type of chemical construction while building models for teaching, not everyone was fully on board. In this interview with our new laureate shortly after he had been awarded the prize, he recounts how he drifted into chemistry and shares his thoughts on the attention that will come with the #NobelPrize: “Handling all the nonsense that’s going to happen is going to be hard work!” Listen here:

"I think we, everyone of us, can always do more and do better." During his Nobel Prize lecture, this year's chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi spoke about one of his role models, Marie Skłodowska Curie. Yaghi has a portrait of Curie at his office to inspire and encourage his lab colleagues. Marie Skłodowska Curie was awarded two Nobel Prizes in two scientific categories, physics 1903 and chemistry 1911. She is still the only individual to receive two prizes in two different scientific categories. Watch the rest of Omar Yaghi's lecture that was delivered today:

"It was not an easy childhood." Omar Yaghi, whose parents were from Palestine, grew up in a refugee family of ten children, in a home with no running water and no electricity. Last year he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing cage-like molecules that can capture and release smaller substances, like water. #WorldRefugeeDay #WithRefugees

When we talked to her after she heard the news her surprise was palpable – she explained the “molecular slog” involved in her work and how research “takes a bunch of different brains working together.”

What a proud day for Palestine. Omar M. Yaghi, born to a Palestinian refugee family from the village of al-Masmiyya in Gaza, has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Raised in a one-room home in a refugee camp in Amman, Jordan, without electricity, he transformed a life shaped by displacement into one defined by brilliance, perseverance, and discovery. His story is more than one of scientific achievement — it is the story of a people uprooted yet unbroken. His family, like hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, was forced from their land, carrying only memory, loss, and hope. From that exile, Omar Yaghi rose to the heights of global science. His identity has sparked debate over whether he is Palestinian, Jordanian, Saudi, or American; yet no citizenship can change where he comes from. He is Palestinian — born in exile, but forever rooted in the story of his people. As Mahmoud Darwish once wrote, “We suffer from an incurable disease called hope.” Yaghi’s triumph gives form to that hope, proving that even from displacement and suffering, Palestinians continue to rise, to create, and to illuminate the world.

I remember, after 34 felony convictions, he turned around, shook my hand. We walked out together, we hopped in the car, and we were actually going to a fundraiser. We were in court by day, fundraising by night. And I remember, as soon as we got in the car, he looked at me, and he goes, “I don’t know how, but we’re gonna win.” And he wasn’t just talking about the court case, but the overall election. You had every press member in the back of those courtrooms, and they were giving him a zero percent chance. And it’s funny, in his early life, he wrote “The Art of the Deal.” Then his second book was “The Art of the Comeback,” talking about his business career in the ‘90s, when everybody thought he was down and out. And it’s the perfect parallel. I mean, this was the comeback. No one would ever have thought a guy who was just charged with 91 felony convictions—for doing nothing wrong, but because we had a system that was totally weaponized against him—could ultimately become president. And not only did he become president, he won every swing state. He won the popular vote; every state in the nation went to the right. We picked up 11 counties in California that had never been Republican. Miami Dade, which hadn’t been Republican in 37 years, we won by 11 percent. You want to talk about the art of the comeback? It was a great foreshadowing in his early life, when he named that book, of exactly where we sat a year ago. Eric Trump Opens Up About How Relentless Attacks Impacted Him and His Family
