The official website for the Nobel Prizes features "educational productions" related to Physics, Chemisty, Medicine, and even Literature! 

If you're a nurse or someone with 5 minutes of free time, learn a thing or two about **Blood Typing, the MRI, or Tuberculosis** - through games! 

## Nursing Program in Los Angeles 

### 1. Did You Know... 

- Alfred Nobel is best known for inventing dynamite, but he also experimented making synthetic rubber, leather, and artificial silk! 
- After reading a [premature obituary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_obituary) which condemned him for profiting from the sales of arms, he bequeathed his fortune to institute the [Nobel Prizes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize) in 1895.
- Medals made prior to 1980 were struck in **23 carat gold**, later changed to 18 carat [green gold](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrum) plated with a 24 carat gold coating! 
- Between 1901 and 2015, the Nobel Prizes and the Prize in Economic Sciences were awarded** 573 times to 900 different people and organizations.** Some have received the Nobel Prize more than once, this makes a total of 870 individuals (822 men and 48 women)[[2]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize#cite_note-2) and 23 organizations.

### 2. The Blood Typing Game 

"What happens if you get a blood transfusion with the wrong blood type? Even though a patient's own blood type is the first choice for blood transfusions, it's not always available at the blood bank. Try to save some patients' lives and learn about human blood types!"

### 3. MRI: The Magnetic Miracle 

Did you know? The 2003 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded for discoveries concerning MRI - magnetic resonance imaging.

### 4. Tuberculosis: Experiments & Discoveries 

"This production explores the 1905 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which was awarded for investigations and discoveries concerning the disease tuberculosis, or 'TB'."
