  Afraid not, or should I say not yet! (Or would that be too ambitious?!)

  No I haven’t. The nobel prize is usually awarded to a scientist or several scientists for their outstanding work in an area over a large number of years. For example, Prof Sir Martin Evans from Cardiff University won the novel prize a couple of years ago for his work in discovering embryonic stem cells and developing techniques to switch off genes in developing mice. All that work took 25-30 years and he was awarded the prize for all that work.
  
  I have some way to go yet!!

  Oh no – they are pretty hard to come by. Only one to three awards are made in “Physiology or Medicine” each year, and I think that having lots of grey hair is almost a necessity … so, there’s still time for all of us!

  No. Nobel prizes are only awarded to a tiny number of scientists – who are incredibly diligent, clever and lucky! Sir Martin Evans was awarded a Nobel Prize for medicine for his work on stem cells, and he works at Cardiff University (where I work), but I’m in a different department and have never been lucky enough to actually meet him.
