You look great. Congratulations. Thank you. I'm so excited. It's a surreal
experience at our house. Cat is out. We have
to get the cat back. We'll get the cat. Might
be tricky. Hey, Pickles. I think he'd actually
like to be out on the patio with us. He's got his outfit on.
He's got his tuxedo on. He's better dressed than us. Yeah. An hour to go before you get your Nobel Prize medal.
How are you feeling? I'm nervous. I'm incredibly excited and
it hasn't really hit me. It just feels a bit unreal. Here we are on my patio in
Berkeley and my husband, Jamie Cate said to me
this morning, ''Well, this is probably the first
and maybe last time in the history of the Nobel that the medal will be
given at our house.'' I'm going to call my
sister on FaceTime. Hi. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. We're setting up here. My sister is on FaceTime
from Manhattan. There I'm going to
show you the table, where they actually
have the prize. Can you see it? Emmanuelle and I, we're
thrilled and we're delighted to be the first two women to receive the prize in chemistry, without a man. You got it. Great to see that. You were the two women
to own this prize. It's sometimes
difficult to say that, come on, you can do it. Now we can for sure
say that yes, you can. They can start to picture
themselves doing this some day. Absolutely. That's what we want. Jennifer Doudna, the
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided
to award you the 2020 Nobel Prize
in chemistry to you for the development of a
method for genome editing. It is a great honor
to convey to you my warmest congratulations and ask you to receive
the Nobel Prize. I'm really thrilled and delighted to be
sharing this award, this prize with Emmanuelle
Charpentier, my friend, colleague, collaborator
on the CRISPR-Cas9 work that we did together. I want to thank everyone
here and in particular, I want to thank my family, my husband, Jamie Cate, my son, Andy Cate, my sisters, Ellen Doudna who's here and Sarah Doudna who's here on
FaceTime from New York. It's wonderful to have
both of you here. Our parents are
no longer living, but if they were and I feel
they're here in spirit, they would be thrilled today. I just want to, again,
thank everyone that's here. It's really so wonderful to be sharing this
moment with all of you. Thank you. This is just an extra bonus. The medal you cannot wear, but these, you can eat. Those are the very
famous Nobel gold coins, namely chocolate, which are always on the
tables at the Nobel banquet. We are so grateful for you
to receive us here today. It's been an honor. This is the medal and
it's absolutely stunning. It's not chocolate, right? It's actually engraved. It has my name and it
has the year as well. Wow. I'm opening the diploma and it's all in Swedish, of course, but it says that I've received the Nobel Prize. Thank you, again,
I'm really grateful. This is such a
special event for me. Thank you, of course,
to the Nobel Committee for all of the work, I know you guys had to do a
huge amount of work this year probably more than usual to
adjust to the circumstances. Very grateful for that as well. Thank you so much. This
has been an honor.
