Fred Ramsdell, one of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2025, cannot be contacted by the Nobel committee

Fred Ramsdell, 64 years old, is on an 'off the grid' hiking trip in Idaho, without access to communication means. This has led to the Nobel committee's inability to contact him to bring him the news of his award win. The situation was similar to that of his co-winner, Mary Brunkow from Seattle, Washington, who was also difficult to reach.
