The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony 2016 was held on December 10 in Stockholm, Sweden. There are six prizes altogether, and this year, a Japanese scientist won the Medicine Award. It went to Osumi Yoshinori for his work on autophagy. The big surprise was the Literature Prize. It was given to a songwriter for the first time. Bob Dylan got the award for his songs with beautiful, moving words. I was happy to see the Peace Prize go to President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia. He worked very hard for a peaceful end to a 50-year-long war in his country. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

How do ski jumpers find the courage to jump off a hill and fly almost 100 meters wearing only a pair of skis? I’m sure that Takanashi Sara can answer that question. She is one of the greatest ski jumpers ever. Over the weekend, she jumped 98 meters to win her 46th World Cup at Lillehammer, Norway. She now has as many overall wins as Matti Nykanen, the great Finnish ski jumper of the 1980s. Now, the only question is: Can she can catch up with Gregor Schlierenzauer of Austria? He has the world record for the most World Cup wins: 53! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
