Hi Nobel committee -- it's 2017.  Time to add some diversity to the awards roster.  Not just codgy old white men anymore.  Plenty of women and minorities have contributed to science and been overlooked for their work.  See, the sad history of Rosalind Franklin, who discovered the structure of DNA, but was overshadowed by Watson and Crick, and never got her due.  Sexism and racism run deep, and even reach the Nobel committees.
