This is how Louis Ignarro describes this tie with a pattern of chemical structures:
“This special tie was fabricated just for me and presented to me at a Nitric Oxide conference held in 1999 in celebration of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The tie depicts a pattern of chemical structures, also showing the chemical symbol for nitric oxide, which is NO. I wore this tie at many nitric oxide conferences that followed. The significance of the tie is that my laboratory originally discovered in 1986 that our bodies produce NO to maintain cardiovascular health. This discovery resulted in the Nobel Prize.”
Louis Ignarro donated the tie to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2017. - Pristagare
