The 'Just Won A Nobel Prize' Face - As Seen On Laureate And His Son

October 4, 2021

Ardem Patapoutian was photographed watching the Nobel Prize press conference from the comfort of his bed shortly after finding out that he had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with David Julius. David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian have been awarded this year's Nobel Medicine Prize for discoveries on receptors for temperature and touch, the jury announced today.
David Julius, a professor at the University of California in San Francisco and Ardem Patapoutian, a professor at Scripps Research in California, will share the Nobel Prize cheque for 10 million Swedish kronor ($1.1 million, one million euros).
On Monday afternoon, shortly after their names were announced, the official Instagram account of the Nobel Prize shared a picture of Mr Patapoutian and his son, Luca. The two were photographed sitting in bed, a laptop in front of them to stream the Nobel Prize press conference.
"Just in! New medicine laureate Ardem Patapoutian and his son Luca, watching the #NobelPrize press conference shortly after finding out the happy news," the Nobel Prize captioned the photograph.
