about doing science,” she said. “There have been further advances, but they all build on her work.”
“So many scientists use these reactions to monitor things in cells, even by people who aren’t chemists,” Kiessling
said. “It’s just become a tool that people can use broadly in many different fields.”
Even though click chemistry is just starting to lead to therapeutic applications, scientists emphasize that
Bertozzi’s contributions to fundamental science shouldn’t be minimized. Her work formed the cornerstone of a larger
field called “bioorthogonal chemistry”, a term she coined to reflect chemical reactions performed inside of living
organism that don’t disturb their normal functions.
During her college days, Bertozzi played keyboards in a band with Tom Morello. “That might be the one thing
that I’m best-known for,” she recalled. “We played college parties at Harvard and around the Boston area, and then he
went off to become a superstar. And I wasn’t talented the way he was. So I think I made the right choice to graduate
school.”
The Nobel Prize is a capstone to Bertozzi’s dozens of research and teaching accolades ( 荣誉). She has received
the MacArthur Fellowship, known as the “genius award”. She will also receive the Wistar Institute’s 2022 Helen Dean
King award, which recognizes “outstanding women in biomedical research”.

At this zoo visitors move quickly to avoid the running elephants, look closely at the open mouth of a shark and
pat friendly giraffes. Such thrills are possible at Australia’s “Hologram (全息影像) Zoo”, which opened earlier this
year, and features 50 lifelike displays from dinosaurs to gorillas created by lasers.
“It’s the world’s most futuristic (极其现代的) animal theme park, using the hologram technology that has never
been used anywhere else, says Bruce Dell, the chief executive of Axiom Holographics and creator of Hologram Zoo.
It is digital trickery, tricking the brain into seeing something that isn’t really there.
“When we are projecting (投映) an object in the air, we need to make sure that it appears to be real because as
