Look up the bio of Nobel laureates and you will see that in most cases their seminal work was done at least 1 or 2 decades before they were honoured. So how long does laureates have to wait for their Prize? Today's #HTNumberTheory explores this in detail. https://lnkd.in/d7ChgkhK

If you're in need of a few inspiring stories to end what has been yet another turbulent year for most of the world, look no further than this article by BBC Future, which charts the work of the Chief Scientific Officer at Nobel Prize Outreach. Adam Smith has the unique responsibility of being the second point of contact for Nobel prize winners, and as well as making follow-up phone calls to congratulate them on their win, he is also tasked with building a working relationship with them and encouraging them to engage with the bright young minds of the future and inspire the next generation of successes. His 18-year tenure means that he has the remarkable honour of having spoken to more Nobel Laureates than any other person in the world, and in the article he relives some of the conversations he’s had with some of the greatest living minds on the planet and provides some tantalising insights into how the prospect of receiving a Nobel prize conditions their lives, with most Nobel laureates apparently already suspecting that they were in the running for this ultimate award. The article provides some heart-warming and occasionally amusing stories of people who have been justifiably commended for their outstanding contributions to society, but over and above this it also shines an intriguing light on what it actually feels like to receive that life-changing call. Most of us lesser mortals are unlikely to know what it feels like to realistically believe we stand a chance of winning a Nobel prize, but it’s well worth reading the article to better understand how that might look to the people who are successful in this. And if nothing else, you’ll never pick up a phone call from Stockholm in the same way again!  https://lnkd.in/dmkDMuxW

Great content through this link about the #2023Nobellaureates in physics, chemistry, medicine and economic, gathered at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, Sweden. Amazing discoveries and achievements by the way. Do you know about #Nobelprize and how it works? Is there a standard number of laureates each and every year? Is there any age range in the requirements? Because in this video sounds like there are only senior profiles... Are there some targeted nationalities? Because in this video as a sample, we only have Americans and Europeans... Don't we need this kind of settlement in Africa? This makes us reflect. https://lnkd.in/dENv-Nns
