Ah, the Nobel Prize for Men week is off to a rousing start I see! I've done running tallies in past years, so what do we think, will this year be any better? The start says "nah". 3/3 men.

@renordquist Since the Navier–Stokes debacle I've been thinking these prizes are kind of ridiculous. They are artefacts of our individualist cultural frame.
So, they are the public face of the team that went the last mile, therefore they deserve a big ceremony? Many peoplem were involved up to this point. Where are they? And I mean a _lot_ of people. People cooked the food they ate even. Not to mention the people who toiled silently to get to the last mile.
IDK it all feels like a farce to me.
