Anirban Banerjee is the first Indian scientist to get the ‘Nobel Laureate Signature Award‘. This is a tribute to his work on human DNA. The award given by American Chemical Society has the ratification of the Alfred Nobel Committee and is one of the most acclaimed honours in the world of science. The award worth US$ 3000 comes with a plaque inscribed with the signatures of Nobel Laureates. Banerjee did his schooling from St. Lawrence, which is my alma mater as well. Then he went to Jadavpur University and IIT Kanpur for his higher studies. He now stays in the US.

This post on Calcutta Chromosome was interesting to read.

A few days back I was enlightened by the words of our Physiology professor Dr. S P Bhattacharya. One of our favourite teachers, Sir was guiding us in a practical class in his usual friendly style when he said this.

It is very wrong to think we are doing a huge favour to a patient by offering him medical treatment. On the contrary we should be happy to have the opportunity of offering our service to an ailing person. We must treat the suffering man honourably – the patient is our GOD.

I am really touched by this idea. I’ll remember this always.

The exams are knocking on the door. 2nd semester starting from 21st 24th May and 1st Prof. MBBS exams from 28h June. Time for some serious studies. Wish me good luck!
