The Nobel Prize and Greek Scientists
Countless awards are given out around the world every year. None of them, however, has prestige of a Nobel Prize.
What is it that makes the greatest prize awarded to someone? That its recipients are selected based on merit with transparency. ??? ?????? ????? ? ??????? ?????????? ?????????? ???????? ??? ????????? ?? ?????????? ? the ultimate spiritual recognition exceeds anything financial.
The 1963 Prize in Literature was awarded to a man with roots in Smyrna, George Seferis. Odysseas Elytis won in 1979. Two prizes for little Greece.
The award this year just went to renowned short-story writer Alice Munro, who lives in a village in Ontario, Canada.
But a Nobel Prize in science has never been awarded to a citizen of a small, undeveloped country.
