Nobel Prizes

Curious why American scientists have...
taken or shared the Nobel prize for medicine in 17 of the last 20 years. In chemistry, they have stepped onto the podium every year since 1992. In physics, the string of US success has been broken only once, in 1999, over the past 13 years.

Since 1901, of the 513 individuals who have won science Nobels, 232 have been US citizens, including seven with dual citizenship.

Check out this article and this article for their reasons... If you don't want to read anything - here's the answer: $$$$$$$$$$$ lots and lots of it $$$$$$$$$$$$ boat loads - crap loads -shit loads...of MONEY!!!

Ohh..and yeah, this picture doesn't have anything to do with anything. The tagline said "HVORFOR LYSER DET RØDT NÅR DET ER BLÅTANN?"
