    Also you don’t usually get a Nobel at the beginning of your career?

      In this article they say they controlled for researcher age. How effective that control is I cannot say.

        These days the committee prefers to wait until a body of work has made an impact across society. This typically takes a few decades. I actually prefer this style, although it is too often the case that the authors have since died. Would be good to see them allow posthumous awards within reason.

        True! My gf is a chemist and said that there used to be that saying that if you hadn’t had your Nobel by 35 then you failed :S
