Nobel Prizes

I haven't been paying attention to who's winning Nobel Prizes this year; I just assume that the committe would either be pressured into being biased for women or actually believe in some sort of preference for women being necessary in order to have the appearance of being "impartial" and "egalitarian" and even "feminist." This was announced a few days ago. She's married to this guy.

Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez – awarded the 2020 #NobelPrize in Physics – discovered that an invisible and extremely heavy object governs the orbits of stars at the centre of our galaxy. A supermassive black hole is the only currently known explanation.

Shouldn't you have some oped editor canceled for this slip-up?https://t.co/3I3Bj466oD
