On October 7, 2008, Osamu Shimomura of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts; Martin Chalfie of Columbia University; and Roger Tsien of the University of California at San Diego discovered an amazing scientific breakthrough and won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. They found a protein in a crystal jellyfish that help us understand more science. This mineral is called GFP. GFP can show us things that were impossible to us before. By using GFP, we can see the development of nerve cells, how cancer cells spread, and many more things that will help us soar ahead others in technology. I think that this discovery is awesome and will help in future with things like cancer and other life threatening diseases. I think that this is awesome and that I hope that it will prevent life threatening diseases. In conclusion, three scientists have discovered a new protein called GFP that will help us in the future.

That's a very important discovery and it sounds like it might help people suffering from cancer. I think those scientists should definitely receive some kind of award for their amazing discovery.
