No, No Nobel: How to Lose the Prize: Brian Keating on Scientific American's Science Talk (#328)
Into the Impossible With Brian Keating
The Matilda Effect on the Nobel Prize
Women still make up a very small percentage of the overall faculty, but they only make up less than a percent of all the laureates that have won Nobel Prizes. Part of that traces to the fact that there is a sort of old boys network at work. They changed the laws in 1974 to prevent posthumous awards. But it's not too late for Jocelyn Bell. And I challenge them to go back tomorrow and award a Nobel Prize. The average listener has six shows on his or her rotation. You're probably most likely just listening to the Into the Impossible podcast.
