The Nobel Prize is an annual, international award first awarded in 1901 for achievements in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. An associated prize in Economics has been awarded since 1969. Nobel Prizes have been awarded to over 800 individuals, of whom at least 20% were Jews. Jews have been the recipients of all six Nobel prizes. The first Jewish recipient, Adolf von Baeyer, was awarded the prize in Chemistry in 1905. The most recent, Ada Yonath, was awarded the same prize in 2009.
