  Reading the article (theguardian.com/…/nobel-committee-unable-to-reach…), I feel like the least the committee could do is make an effort to call winners during their daytime hours. 😅 Sounds like too many cases of unexpected calls in the night.

    It truly is astounding how apathetic the Nobel Institute is towards the people they are awarding. Like, some basic research about their nominee’s time zone should be fundamental. Maybe get their schedule and let them know they are in consideration and when decisions will be rendered so they can be ready (or absent if they want).

    But the current approach of cold calling scientists in the middle of the night just shows how little they care.

      If they keep it up, I feel like they’re rapidly going to hit a generational impasse of nobody picking up even during daytime. I am very reluctant to answer numbers I don’t recognize, if it’s important they can leave a voice-mail.

      They are informed a few minutes before the public announcement, so it’s either them waking them, or their family or neighbors a few minutes later

      “What? What is this stuff about Time Zones? Do we need a new Nobel Prize for outstanding progress in Time Zone research?”

  I’m kinda jealous of him now. Not because of the prize though.

    Well, a little because of the prize, tbh.

  Chad move. If you get one of these, take the money and then film yourself inventively destroying the trophy.
