Nobel prizes This years Nobel prizes saw molecular biologist Dr Elizabeth Blackburn become Australia's first Nobel laureate. Blackburn, and her colleagues Carol Greider and Jack Szostak, were honoured for their work with telomeres and cell divison. The research has not only revolutionised our understanding of ageing, but holds great promise for cancer treatment. Nicky Phillips and Sarah Castor-Perry give a full report of the prizes. Climate change and wine Australia is already feeling the effects of climate change, but how will it affect winemaking, one of the country´s major industries? Sarah Castor-Perry talks to Dr Leanne Webb from CSIRO and to winemakers themselves about the changes the industry faces and how they can deal with them.
