What is the Nobel Prize?
VYLH - Philippines (Advocacy Side-Exhibit)
Together with VYLH-Philippines and VYLH- UP Los Baños, The UPLB Genetics Society is actively involved in the promotion and advocacy of the following health concerns:
The Nobel Prizes are annual international awards given by Scandinavian Committees in recognition of significant cultural and scientific advancements.The awards were named after the Swedish Chemist Alfred Nobel, the inventor of the dynamite. Nobel included in his will the establishment of the Nobel Prizes, which were funded by the bulk of his estate. Since 1901, the awards have been awarded annually for achievements in five fields namely (1) Physics, (2) Chemistry, (3) Physiology or Medicine, (4) Literature, and (5) Peace.
