I've always felt that the Nobel Prize gives me nothing as far as science is concerned.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think it is a mistake to judge science by Nobel Prizes.
Science today is a highly collaborative exercise, and to convert it into a contest, as the Nobel does, is a bad way to look at science.
Forget about Nobel prizes; they aren't really very important.
The great esteem in which the Nobel prizes are universally held is due to the fact that for several generations they have been given purely on scientific merit and not through lobbying and politicking. I do hope that it will stay this way, and the prizes will never be given according to the number of votes in live TV contests!
Anyone can win the Nobel Prize if the scientist works hard on his research subject.
Science is the quintessential international endeavour, and the sterling reputation of the Nobel awards is partly due to the widely-perceived lack of national and other biases in the selection of the laureates.
It is disappointing and embarrassing to the science profession that some Nobel Laureates would deliberately use their well deserved scientific reputations and hold themselves out as experts in other fields.
I think it's fair to say that the Nobel Prize is the highest honor any scientist or artist can achieve.
The Nobel Prize is without doubt the highest honour, the most coveted honour, which can be bestowed on a scientist.
It is a remarkable honor to receive a Nobel Prize, because it not only recognizes discoveries, but also their usefulness to the advancement of fundamental science.
