This is a Nature news piece on Barry Marshall and Robin Warren, who have been awarded this year's prize for discovering that Helicobacter pylori causes most stomach ulcers. The fact that most people dismissed their work when they first proposed the link is interesting!
This story has gained some coverage on library/information listservs as they have acknowledged the role of libraries and librarians in their work. The MEDLIB-L list alerted me to this story in the New York Times, which talks about exactly that: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/04/science/04nobe.html
