My phone rang and I thought, a number from Sweden and I thought,
well, that's just you know, spam of some sort, so I disabled the phone and we went back to sleep.
It's that time of year again.
The week where some of the world's finest scientists receive a phone call
they've always secretly coveted from the Nobel Committee in Stockholm.
And then my husband was like stairs on.
Then I heard a voice and he's talking to somebody in the living room and then and it's local news turn out for at 4:20 a.m.
and then the other side of the dining table boxing here.
That's Mary Bronco, talking to the Nobel Prize podcast after winning this year's award in physiology or medicine.
One of Dr. Bronco's co-laureates, Fred Ramsdell, was even more startled by the news.
on my way to National camping, uh, higher up in the mountains, Way only, near Yellowstone National Park.
And, uh, we got snowed on and were completely off the vision of service of there or anything.
So my phone was on Derby mode.
And we get out and just go to National Park.
And then, and we actually drove through a small town.
My wife, it's gone, which now on airplane mode, blew up.
Um, and, uh, I was out walking the dogs.
She started yelling and I thought there's a grizzly bear nearby.
Uh, turns out it was not a grizzly bear, and she said, you won the Nobel prize.
