WINNING WORK
11/08/2024 |
The Friday File: While the median age of Nobel Prize winners is 55, it can take years for the career-defining work for which they are cited to be recognized. Chemists are in their mid-forties when their winning paper is published, economists are in their early forties, in medicine the median is the late forties, in physics/literature it’s the late thirties. I’m not giving up hope. John Goodenough won at 97!
