FOSNAVÅG (Dagbladet): Mayor Arnulf Goksøyr (H) is the mayor of Herøy Sunnmøre where Nobel laureate May-Britt Moser are raised.
The mayor urgency the Town Hall in Fosnavaag with a paper cup of coffee. He must hoist the flag of the native May-Britt.
Gotta tell something important
– I come from a meeting, and right in my post it raises an elderly lord of the assembly. “Sorry, but I have to tell you something very important,” he said. When we learned that May-Britt and her husband Edward had received the Nobel Prize in medicine, so now I have to get up the flag, says the mayor told Dagbladet.
– Did anyone in the community suspected that this could happen?
– No, it is not possible to assume or hope for such a thing. This is incredibly large, much larger than we think, and extremely important research that goes straight to people’s health. How including seniors with dementia and Alzheimer’s can get a decent and good life, says Goksøyr where he is in the strong winds blowing from the ocean outside Fosnavaag struggling to get up the flag.
Not a “nerd”
– May-Britt is a year older than me, so we hung not in the same circle. But are we not so many here, so everyone knew her. She was part of the cityscape, as others were.
– If anyone had to believe that she was a loner or “nerd” are wrong. Only in retrospect I can see that she was a little different than the rest of us was that she walked a lot. And she looked around where she went, says mayor who finally got the flag flying.
– There are some research here in this archipelago, but perhaps not in the brain?
– No, there is May-Britt and Edvard unique. But yes, it researched a lot in both birds and fish, perhaps most recently. And boats. What the two do have in temporarily to crack codes in the long term will be important for all of us, it’s huge.
– A Nobel’s what “grom nagged” one can get. It’s easier to win the lottery. Clearly we are proud here now.
Skilled sell
Arnulf Goksøyr have followed the couple Moser in the media, and a few weeks ago he went on a lecture May- Britt held in their community. It gave a better idea of what she and her husband are researching.
– You know, they have to constantly “sell into” their research to continue, and there is May-Britt in a class by itself themselves.
– It’s advanced research. Did you get a good understanding of how they work?
– Yes, I’d say. Because she is very good at illustrating everything with both pictures and video. She is an accomplished educator. Now I hasten off and get sent a greeting from a proud community, he said.
Fosnavaag is not great, and everyone knows everyone.
On the other side of the street shouting a woman to the mayor.
– See where yes. Nice to have picked up the flag.
– Yes now it’s up, answer Goksøyr has dragged Dagbladet across the street.
– Come and meet sister in law May-Britt says he holds out his hand to congratulate Olaug Andreassen with the price.
humble people
Olaug is married to Leifmar Andreassen, brother May- Britt Moser and three other sisters.
– My husband can not quite grasp it. Congratulations to May-Britt, but we do not really understand all this yet. It is so big, says Olaug.
She believes the simple conditions both May-Britt and Edvard come from has made them famous scientists.
– When they get to the front page New York Times as found enough newspaper the exotic that two scientists on this planet came from such humble beginnings, and with a family who were not academics.
– They were family with five kids. Father of the house was a sheet metal worker and mother washed the municipality.
Neither Edward had academic ballast. The family originally came from Germany. His father was an organ builder tells Olaug.
– They have worked hard to reach where they are. The doctoral degree early, and devoted himself to research. In the midst of this was the two girls. In the family we say jokingly that they are grown up among rats in a laboratory.
– How will you celebrate?
– Now I’m going home. Where should we bounce “champagne”, she says.
