Nobel Prize winner for chemistry Peter Agre, of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, talks with reporters at his home in Baltimore, Maryland, October 8, 2003. Agre, one of the two Americans who won this year's chemistry prize, said Wednesday he may use some of his prize money to help defend academic freedoms against restrictions imposed on scientists as part of the U.S. war on terrorism. Agre and Roderick MacKinnon were awarded for their studies of tiny channels in cell membranes, which have contributed to the understanding of fundamental life processes. REUTERS/Joe Giza JG/SV
