  1. RE: piaille.fr/@brume/115747449213

    #Assange behauptet, dass der Preis 2025 eine "Veruntreuung von Geldern und eine Erleichterung von Kriegsverbrechen nach schwedischem Recht" darstellt.
    Er ist der Ansicht, dass die Wahl Machados gegen #Nobels Testament verstößt, weil der Preis an eine Person verliehen werden muß, die "die + oder beste Arbeit für die Brüderlichkeit zwischen den Nationen, die Abschaffung oder Reduzierung stehender Heere & die Abhaltung & Förderung von Friedenskongressen" geleistet hat.

  2. #News #Oscars #Nobels #Prizes
    Who still believe they reward the best?
    For me it is only a publicity machine to appease the system.

  3. Beyond #NobelPrizes Is a World of Scientific Awards
    #Nobels are awarded in only 3 scientific categories, but other awards honor researchers across different fields.
    Can't forget #IgNobel — play on the word “ignoble,” or dishonorable — is a satirical but still hotly anticipated prize that was founded by Marc Abrahams, editor of Annals of Improbable Research, in 1991. The award highlights peer-reviewed research that “makes people laugh, then think.”

  4. Did I read this right ? A Venezuelan woman wins this year’s Nobel Peace prize? That is so perfect it almost makes me forget that both John Thune and Kristi Noem are second generation Norwegians!

  5. It's that time of the year again, when a lot of serious science journalists write about the #Nobels are flawed (true) and overhyped (true).

    So, here's the true reason why we cover them in full detail:
    It's fun.
    The Nobels are suspense, glamour, excitement and we get to write about really amazing science. That's why it's the greatest week of the year for us.

    I'll publish my annual chemistry prediction some time next week.

  6. I recently read Em X Liu’s The Death I Gave Him, a retelling of #Hamlet set in a futuristic biotech company. The book does a great job of playing with our pre-knowledge of what happens as a tension-building device, and in spite of having a prefab plot outline, there is a great deal of suspense. The format is po-mo — one chapter is a text stream, for instance, but the shifts of voice and format contribute positively to the unfolding story. Recommend.

  7. At a meeting in Germany that attracts dozens of Nobel prize winners, one of them objected to its focus on diversity, saying “as a male scientist, I have a feeling of discrimination when I am here, in the climate that this meeting is being held.” Science magazine reports that a visibly nervous early-career researcher stood up to respond….

  12. A thread for #Canadians, leading up to #CanadaDay.

    The #Killam Prizes are the #Nobels of Canada. Hokey pomp & circumstance music aside, this is a *great* episode of #CBC Ideas, demonstrating amazing, world-changing Canadian #research.

    There should be #Nobels for graciously admitting mistakes like that

    It should be a bigger part of people’s acknowledged important work

    And trying to correct it or acknowledge those who do

    Sought-after prizes every year in every discipline

    You’re not doing proper #science if you don’t make errors

    Competition for really high quality mistakes. And cooperative classy concession

    And rather more high-profile errata in some people’s Bios
