We are now halfway in announcement of Nobel prize winners. Winners of prize in Medicine, Physics and Chemistry are now known. Only Literature, Peace and Economics are left.
There are 3 joint winners in each of the subjects so far. Seven out of nine are Americans. All are male. Lawrence Summers of the Harvard University was hauled over the coals for stating that female brain is not as attuned to science as the male brain. Is preponderance of males among Nobel laureates in medicine, physics and chemistry year after year proving him right? Are unpalatable truths banished from public debate?
It is likely that male domination among winners of Nobel prize in remaining three subjects this year may not be 100% It is worth watching.
