The 10 of Clubs coordinate

Peter Agre's birthday maps to the 10 of Clubs (The Master Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on Peter Agre. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it.

Peter Agre in the public record

In 2003, Agre and Roderick MacKinnon shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for "discoveries concerning channels in cell membranes." Agre was recognized for his discovery of aquaporin water channels. Aquaporins are water-channel proteins that move water molecules through the cell membrane. In 2009, Agre was elected president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and became active in science diplomacy. Agre was born in Northfield, Minnesota and is the second of six children to parents of Norwegian and Swedish descent. Agre is a Lutheran. Fascinated by international travel after a high school camping trip through the Soviet Union, Agre was an inconsistent student until he developed an interest in science from his father who was a college chemistry professor. Agre graduated from Roosevelt High School (Minnesota) before he received his B.A. in Chemistry from Augsburg University in Minneapolis and his M.D. in 1974 from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. From 1975 to 1978, he completed his clinical training in Internal Medicine at Case Western Reserve University's Case Medical Center under Charles C.J.

It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Peter Agre, and not a forecast of a Nobel Prize.

You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it. You've thought deeply and built significantly. You have wisdom, authority, and accomplishment. Your mind is seasoned and capable.

In February 2014, he was named a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins University for his accomplishments as an interdisciplinary researcher and excellence in teaching the next generation of scholars.

Paired on shared wording: accomplishments, teaching.
