Israeli Scientists Awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry
(Jerusalem Post) Three Jewish American scientists, two of whom have Israeli citizenship, won the 2013 Nobel Prize for chemistry on Wednesday. Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt and Arieh Warshel had pioneered the use of computer models that mirror chemical reactions, which helps in complex processes such as the development of drugs. Warshel was born 1940 in Kibbutz Sde-Nahum in Israel. He received a PhD in 1969 from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot. Michael Levitt is a U.S., British and Israeli citizen.
