The prize for neuroscience went to a team from China that tried to figure out what happens in peoples brains when they see Jesus on a piece of toast. The prize for biology went to Czech scientists who figured out that when dogs pee and poop, they try to align their bodies with the Earths north-south axis. The prize for nutrition went to scientists from Spain who tested whether bacteria from infant feces could be used to create healthier sausages.
