Nobel 2007


12/10/07

Aşteptam să se ter­mine ca să apuc să-​​mi scriu păre­rea. Dar dacă mi-​​am regăsit-​​o într-​​un arti­col, am zis să dau un copy/​paste:

  • A Good Year for Europe
    A com­men­ter at Terra Sigillata said:

    This year’s Nobels (so far) have a dis­tinc­tly European flavour.I don’t think any of the win­ners were born in the US, tho­ugh two of the three Medicine win­ners are US citizens.

    Two born in Germany, two in Britain, one in France, one in Italy.

    A second com­men­ter added:

    Am I the only per­son who thinks that the pri­zes are get­ting rather less ink/​pixels than they would if an American won?

  • Applied Science?
    Some have obser­ved that cove­rage of this year’s pri­zes stres­ses the com­mer­cial appli­ca­tions of the work. Bora at A Blog Around the Clock even titled his post about the phy­sics prize “iPod wins the Nobel!.” He was being tongue-​​in-​​cheek, and one of his com­men­ters added:
  • I almost shre­d­ded the paper this mor­ning when I had to read thro­ugh 4/​5th of the arti­cle to find out what the Nobel prize was actu­a­lly awar­ded for. Ipod was men­tio­ned seve­ral times in the first 4/​5ths of the article.

  • Guess The Winner
    Finally, there’s still a lit­tle time left to spe­cu­late on who might take the Peace and Economics pri­zes, and why.
