"My fish and chips were just put down in front of me when someone rang and said, 'Hello this is Stockholm speaking, you've won the Nobel Prize this year.' I could feel my face going white." Robin Warren was sitting in a pub in Perth, Australia opposite collaborator Barry Marshall when he got the Nobel Prize call – letting them know that they had both been awarded the 2005 medicine prize for their discovery of how stomach ulcers are caused by bacteria, not stress. On 7 October someone will receive a call to tell them they have received this year's medicine prize. Follow us to hear the news first.
