NOBEL PRIZES 2013

Last week we got to know the names of the personalities awarded with the Nobel Prize. I would like to point out three of them: In the first place, as this is a group with an important number of people with a degree in sciences, I'm sure you will be delighed with the prize given to Higgs and Englert on account of the renowned Higgs Boson Particle Theory also known as God's Particle.

Secondly, this is the first time a Canadian writer in English (a woman!!!)gets this price. Alice Munro has been universally acknowledged as the master of the short-story; her work has often been compared with that of Chekhov's. Read how the local press reacted to the news




Finally I would like to finish with the Nobel Peace Prize. Although Malala Yousafzai's name (the Pakistani girl shot for fighting in favour of the education of girls in her country) had been put forward by many, this time the Nobel Peace PriZe went to a chemical weapons watchdog. Bearing in mind the recent events in Syria, we can understand the relevance of the candidate. Read and watch the video
