@JacquelynGill Nobel prizes were awarded posthumously until 1974? That's the first time I've ever heard that.

@nparmalee Ditto. Which makes it extra crappy. They had two decades to do the right thing in that case. - Show replies

@DrShaena@nparmalee It looks there was a Peace and a Literature award made posthumously before 1974. Total crap. -
@JacquelynGill@DrShaena This is total bullshit. How has this story been so fucked up for so long?? - Show replies

@Masud10001 I agree! But they have a "rule," which apparently they broke twice before cracking down in 1974. They should have done it.

@JacquelynGill No posthumous science Nobels ever, not even for Avery (DNA) - clear that pre-1974 cttees considered you had to be alive. -
@matthewcobb There were two: one for Peace and one for Literature, before the formal rule in 1974. - Show replies
