I'm very very disappointed with the nobel committee. For science prizes, the research that is currently getting awarded was performed DECADES ago. There has been a LONG period of waiting for us to finally find out what the outcomes of the research were. They don't just hand out the nobel prize to the coolest idea. There is a lot of thought that goes into these prizes and the fact that they did this one preemptively really pisses me off.

For example, the nobel prize in chemistry this year was awarded to those that studied the ribosome, on an idea that was done purely for academic purposes, with no driving force for health. Now their research is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and has improved QoL for everyone.
