Two things of note in today's announcement of the 2025 Nobel physics prize (besides the work being honored).

1: The US institutional dominance of the prize continues.
2: 2 of the three laureates are immigrants, drawn here decades ago by the then-unmatched opportunities for science here...

Fun guessathon on Nobel Literature Prize.
It aims to maximize surprise, and elevate writers around the world (mostly Europe) who are only known in highbrow circles
(Eg László Krasznahorkai—🤔)

newspaper editor: “Nobel Prize winners should not be in paperback!”

Which writer will win the Nobel? The literati have some guesses.
Amitov Ghosh? Gerald Murnane? The truth will be revealed Thursday.

Last year the Nobel Prizes seemed dominated by AI. This year they are not, I think (open to correction if I’m wrong). Hmmm.

Back in the day people used to have a slide at the end of their presentations saying "and that's how the brain works" as an inside joke about Hinton since he was known to talk confidently out of his ass.

Now, the Nobel committee brought this upon us like they give the peace prize to genociders.

Among names I've heard mentioned are a couple of my former profs
Gertler
Manski

I'll also say...almost every year the selection almost always surprises me and others.

Final comment... not sure if any health economist has ever been awarded the prize other than the father of health economics (Arrow)

Som vanligt kommer fel författare att vinna. Årets Nobelpris i litteratur bör NATURLIGTVIS postumt tilldelas Willy Kyrklund.

“The prize represents a triumph for the University of California system; Clarke remains at the University of California, Berkeley, and Devoret and Martinis are at the University of California, Santa Barbara. (Devoret also holds a position at Yale University.)”
