Two of these prestigious prizes will be of interest to classical music enthusiasts.
The Medicine prize is for research assessing the effect of listening to opera, on heart transplant patients who are mice.
REFERENCE: "Auditory stimulation of opera music induced prolongation of murine cardiac allograft survival and maintained generation of regulatory CD4+CD25+ cells,"
And anyone who is opposed to clapping between movements will approve of the Peace prize, awarded to Alexander Lukashenko, president of Belarus, for making it illegal to applaud in public, AND to the Belarus State Police, for arresting a one-armed man for applauding.
