mrissaOne of the recent issues of New Scientist had an impassioned plea for adding a biology Nobel Prize. What do you think of this? More generally, when do you think it's the right idea to expand an existing prize and when is it better to come up with a new prize? And how much should determining the intent of the originator of the prize matter?
