Just saw you both on the News Hour. Blessings and Thanks. Harriet

In 1969, at the Max Planck Institute in Munich, Germany, in the lab of Wolfram Zillig, PhD, I reconstituted the subunits of RNA polymerase from E.Coli, and demonstrated role of partial functions of the subunits. Now as a psychiatrist I still miss the thrills of discovery in basic sciences. My present contribution has been the publication of my book, 'Solving Psychiatric Puzzles'. More info at www.solvingpsychiatricpuzzles.com. Congratulations, and best regards, V.Sagar Sethi, MD, PhD

Congratulations!
One of the most brilliant milestones in the long run to discover the mystery of life!

Congratulations on this great accomplishment. I am impressed by the academic excellence at Stanford. Two Nobel prize winners in the same year. This is really great news.

We are so pleased that Arthur can share this well-deserved honor with you, Roger. No finer gentlemen ever deserved this award.

Let me be the one-millionth person to say congratulations. "CONGRATULATIONS." What an extraordinary honor, a lifetime achievement. Father and son are like a dynamic duo - a real life Superman and Batman!! Here's to continued success, and joy.

I just heard the last name "Kornberg" on the radio. Then I was confused because I knew I studied Arthur Kornberg's book on DNA about 30 years ago and thought he already won the Nobel prize many years ago. After further investigation I was surprised it was his son Roger! I'm off to the bookstore to buy one of his books now.

felicitaciones por aportar mas para la vida.

congratulations!!

Nice work for both father and son, wonderful achievements.

Congratulations!!!

it is one of the greatest achievements of a scientist. Congratulations to Roger.......

genious! congratulations!
i am always thinking, when i can get the Nobel Prize too!

what great work! so insight and persistence may lead to discovery, i think i learned a lot from the story, as a beginner in biochemistry.

what a team, father-son. Congratulations.

Today Dr. Kornberg delivered a great speech on the issue of transcription at Alumni Hall in Univ. of Pittsburgh, and I appreciated his words much.

Congs, Dr.Kornberg!

Green Acres School in Rockville, MD, is proud to claim that Dr. Roger Kornberg attended its nursery school. Congratulations!

Congratulations !! Like father, like son :D

Please continue doing this excellent research.

Two summers ago I found my uncle's resume. He too was a chemist, physicist, and biologist. He published works with Arthur Kornberg. No one is left in my family to explain to me what the papers were about. I want to congratulate the Kornbergs knowing how much the family has contributed to science. I do wish my uncle was around to see the news article in today's paper.

Wow, what a day to be a proud parent! Congratulations to the entire Kornberg family. Linda (www.harvardmom.com)

Sincerest congratulations!

I am excited to learn how the understanding brought about by Dr. Kornberg's discovery will benefit medicine and humanity.

Thank you for your tenacity and brilliance.

Well done!

CONGRATULATIONS Dr. Kornberg!! Amazing Work!! God bless!

Hello Professor Kornberg
How do you do

My name is Manuel M.
I am Spanish
I live in Jerez (Spain)

Congratulations Professor Kornberg for winning the Prize Nobel.
I came to meet your father Professor Arthur in Molecular Biology Center (Madrid) with Professor Ochoa in Autonoma University Madrid

Excuse me please Professor Kornberg my bad English

Best regards
Manuel M

Congratulations!
A brilliant father-son team!
Best regards from China.

Congratulations Dr. Roger Kornberg for winnning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. I wish you all the best in your future research work.

Congratulations to Dr. Andrew Fire for winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

This is a remarkable achievement for Stanford

It was a true thrill to hear your outstanding presentation for the Dickson Lecture at Pitt. As someone who has followed development of the understanding of the relationship between structure and function in chromatin, I am in awe of your accomplishments. Congratulations on your well deserved receipt of the Nobel Prize and best wishes for future achievements.

My father was a tax-consultant and I wanted to do career in science. That time, because of Arthur Kornberg's work, I decided to do career in Biochemistry. But after doing MSc in 1970, my interest shifted to physics education because of John Kendrew, the 1962 Nobel Prize Winner of Chemistry and the father of Molecular Biology. In his line is now Roger Kornberg. My work in physics is concerned with basic mechanics, which was appreciated by Abdus Salam, the Nobel Laureate of 1979.

Thus I have never worked in Biochemistry but Arthur Kornberg is still my hero.

What Arthur Kornberg said is so true, "he has the clearest vision, sense of purpose and direction." That's key to any kind of success. Success comes from within.

Astonishing! Congrats to Prof. Kornberg and to Stanford University.

Prof.Roger Kornberg's tenacity for years in a technically challenging field of structural biology is a source of inspiration for graduate students like me. Nobel recognition for such a Genius is a encouraging news for thousands of science students. I pray for his continued contribution to the science for the betterment of the humanity.

Grattis Roger!
Och valkommen till Sverige och Stockholm i december.

We've been following all the progress that you've been making on this research, you completely deserve it professor, congratulations...
From Istanbul,Turkey

go bears

Scientists are those who can understand our world. And they find the interest in the process of probing into the truth of the nature.

I believe you have already enjor much pleasure before you get the prize. I admire you.

Congrats!

As a former postdoc in Weissman lab, I expected at least one Nobel prize to go to the Stanford University School of Medicine in the coming years. I remember a great lecture of and a short discussion with Roger Kornberg during my years at Stanford. This prize is sure a wonderful and great honor for him and his work, but also for the 'little' Stanford School of Medicine receiving even two prizes in one week (Andy Fire for Medicine and Roger Kornberg for Chemistry). For me it was a great honor to improve my scientific education and serve the School of Medicine as a postdoc. Congratulations to the Nobelist !

Very educational article! My biology background helps in understanding your article. Congratulations!

I think it is a really great work, you deserve it for your hard work and dedication.

Heartiest congratulations, especially looking at your hard work and single-minded dedication

I'm just learning about the processes of transcription and translation in Microbiology and Human Physiology for my pre-nursing prerequisites. And it wouldn't have been possible without their hard work and dedication. Congratulations!

I have read several time your articles. And it is a great day to see your Nobel prize. Congratulations for your elegant and clever work.
