Who still believe they reward the best?
For me it is only a publicity machine to appease the system.

Nobels remind us of the importance of funding basic science
This year’s Nobel season has come and gone for C&EN. Last week the newsroom spent an exhilarating…

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.”

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!

Å utnevne seg selv til en verdig mottager av #Nobels #Fredspris er vel ikke akkurat typisk for tidligee vinnere. Men det er mange gode grunner til at #Trump ikke bør motta den https://www.aftenposten.no/verden/nyhetsanalyse/i/73EKL9/trump-er-en-av-odds-favorittene-kan-han-vinne-aarets-fredspris
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.

Looking to bolster his legacy as a global peacemaker, Donald Trump has boasted often in recent days that he’s ended at least six wars. Critics of the president’s record say the truth is a lot more complicated. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/24/world/politics/trump-wars-settled-dispute/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #donaldtrump #nobelpeaceprize #nobels #us #india #pakistan #democraticrepublicofcongo #rwanda #armenia #azerbaijan #cambodia #thailand #israel #iran #serbia #kosovo #egypt #ethiopia

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.

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….

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
