    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.
