斯坦福大学分享了一段视频,记录了卡尔·戴瑟罗斯周一将这一消息告诉他两个女儿和一个儿子的过程。

Stanford University has shared video of Karl Deisseroth giving the news to his two daughters and one of his sons on Monday.

戴瑟罗斯在得知自己因助力开创了名为“光遗传学”的脑科学新领域而获得诺贝尔医学奖后,花费数小时接听了祝贺电话。

Deisseroth had spent hours fielding congratulatory calls after learning that he had won a Nobel prize in medicine for helping to open a new field of brain science called optogenetics.

但没过多久,这位加州科学家就请求从这些关注中抽身,去处理一件更平凡的任务:他需要为孩子们准备学校午餐。

当时孩子们正在斯坦福的家中熟睡,而他们的父亲则在深夜里与记者和祝福者通话。

But it wasn't long before the California scientist asked for a break from all the attention for a more ordinary task: he needed to make school lunches for his children, who were asleep in the family home in Stanford, where their father had been speaking in the middle of the night with journalists and wellwishers.

54岁的戴瑟罗斯与德国的两位研究人员共同分享了今年的医学奖,以表彰他们在光遗传学领域的贡献,该领域结合了光与基因技术,能够开关活体大脑中的神经元。

Deisseroth, 54, shared this year’s medicine prize with two researchers in Germany for their work in optogenetics, a field that combines light with genes to switch neurons on and off in living brains
