La Academia sueca cometió dos graves errores al conceder los premios Nobel de Medicina de 1952 y 2011. Casi 60 años los separan, pero persisten tanto el modus operandi --ignorar al descubridor para premiar a su jefe-- como el móvil del crimen: ambos errores afectan a cuestiones vitales no solo para la ciencia, sino también para la industria.
En otros campos que no son la medicina también ha pasado: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar
In 1974, Antony Hewish became the first astronomer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. Considerable controversy is associated with the fact that Professor Hewish was awarded the prize while Bell, who made the initial discovery while she was his Ph.D student, was not. Bell claims no bitterness upon this point, supporting the decision of the Nobel prize committee.
The 1952 prize was awarded solely to Selman Waksman "for his discovery of streptomycin, the first antibiotic effective against tuberculosis" and omitted recognition due his co-discoverer Albert Schatz. Schatz sued Waksman over the details and credit of the discovery. Schatz was awarded a substantial settlement, and, together with Waksman, Schatz was legally recognized as a co-discoverer.

Le tengo dicho, Watson, que debajo de todo gran hombre hay siempre un becario aplastado.

Buena frase: La principal contribución de Hoffmann a esa investigación fue oponerse a ella.
Se les ha olvidado el de Obama.
#5 No seas karmawore. El artículo habla de científicos que se llevan el mérito de las investigaciones de otros.
