Nobel Prize Day

Happy Nobel Prize Day!

The Nobel Laureates are announced at the beginning of October each year. A couple of months later, on 10 December, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death, they receive their prizes from the Swedish King – a Nobel diploma, a medal, and 10 million Swedish crowns per prize. All Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, except for the Nobel Peace Prize, which is awarded in Oslo, Norway. (When Alfred Nobel was alive, Norway and Sweden were united under one monarch, until 1905 when Norway became an independent kingdom with its own king.)

I wrote about last year's winners in Science fiction, activism, science, and economics for Nobel Prize Day 2017. I plan on posting something about this year's winners later today at Crazy Eddie's Motie News. I'll post the link here tomorrow if I do.
