"I am, and always have been, passionately curious," says Ada Yonath.

Wishing a happy birthday to Yonath, awarded the 2009 chemistry prize for determining the structure of the ribosome.

Yonath started investigating from a young age. When she was five she tried to measure the height of her family’s balcony by stacking up and climbing on pieces of furniture she found around the apartment. Her plan failed when she fell from her home-made tower and broke her arm.

The incident didn’t dim her curiosity. It would later lead her on a 20-year search to map the structure of the ribosome. Ribosomes are the cells’ factories for translating instructions written in the genetic code into proteins. Her work has helped us both to understand life’s core processes and to help us develop new antibiotics.
