Body clock scientists win Nobel Prize
Three scientists who unravelled how our bodies tell time have won the 2017 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine.
The body clock – or circadian rhythm – keeps us in tune with the movement of the Earth and drives huge changes in the way our bodies function.
The US scientists Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael Young will share the prize.
The Nobel committee said their findings had “vast implications for our health and wellbeing”.
