Boston Metro: This man gave away a Nobel Prize
Dammit, it makes me feel bitter for what happened to him. That's a man at peace with life, but even if he doesn't seek it he deserves more recognition.
Yeah, that is rough. Prasher would have certainly merited the prize had he been chosen as one of the three.
A pig with a lipstick is still a pig, right? All of this just reinforces the absurdity of the whole situation -- I truly do not understand why he was not included among the winners. Maybe my knowledge of the topic is patchy, but wasn't he the GFP pioneer, the one who first thought of how useful it could be to have this purified protein at hand?
