    1. “Unbelievable” as in you don’t believe them? Either way I feel like I’m missing both the context and what makes this interesting as fuck lol

      > The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine went to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for their work on peripheral immune tolerance

      So one of them (Shimon Sakaguchi) IS Japanese

    2. > Unbelievable

      As in, you think it’s a lie, or you just can’t believe they’d do such a thing?

      More context: I don’t think it’s a lie, just that a local eye clinic posting this is great(also a subtle flex) and made it interesting. Apologies for any misunderstanding.

    4. You mean the way it switches back and forth from English like that? That’s some cool paper. 😉

    5. His mother is probably taunting him for not winning the Nobel prize. “Look at Cousin Shimon Sakaguchi. He is now a Nobel Prize winning eye doctor. You just an eye doctor. Disappointed, I am!”

      Edit : Nobel prize winning immunologist.

    6. In a lot of countries this would be an invitation to burgle the place, as the owner has confirmed when it will be empty. I’m guessing Japan is a pretty safe place when it comes to business break ins.

      Slightly related… my relative invented the knock-knock joke. He went on to win the No Bell prize
