The 2023 Nobels
What They Mean for Higher Education
Keywords:
Nobel prizes, sciences, research funding, gender discriminationAbstract
The 2023 Nobel cohort in the sciences shows little change from recent years, skewed towards Western university-affiliated researchers, dominated by the United States. This year's prizewinners have partially internationalized career trajectories, and all have had affiliations external to the traditional university. The case of Katalin Karikó emphasizes how ongoing challenges in the university environment, particularly gender bias, threaten such groundbreaking academic research, and may push imaginative scientists to find more welcoming homes outside the university.
