I Learned It From Watching You, Dad

I learned it from watching you!

Not all behavior learned from Dad is a bad thing. This dude learned that being a smarty pants is cool. Father and son Nobel prize winners? Awesome.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - American Roger D. Kornberg, whose father won a Nobel Prize a half-century ago, was awarded the prize in chemistry Wednesday for his studies of how cells take information from genes to produce proteins.

Disturbances in that process, known as transcription, are involved in many human illnesses, including cancer, heart disease and various kinds of inflammation. Understanding transcription also is vital to the development of treatments using stem cells.

Kornberg’s father, Arthur Kornberg, won a Nobel Prize in medicine in 1959, also for work in genetics.
