The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to a person from the Kingdom of Denmark.
 Despite these factors, Marie Curie is to date the only person awarded Nobel Prizes in two different sciences (Physics in 1903, Chemistry in 1911); she is one of only three people who have received two Nobel Prizes in sciences (see Multiple laureates below)
 The first Physiology or Medicine Prize went to the German physiologist and microbiologist Emil von Behring
