This year, we have the added bonus of COVID to contend with. I got the job by applying to the University.
Well, no surprise there, that you won a Nobel Prize. When someone has to come to your door to tell you to keep your phone on, it's clear your priorities are on better things.
if you're a phd chances are you have your email notifications turned off, phone wifi turned off and on silent mode, and probably wear a pair of QC35 headphones too.
@@CestosChannelByElite too much distraction from departmental duties like asking you to do risk assessment about biological and chemical hazard in a lab when all you do is maths and computer simulations.
Huh, when I was working on my master's thesis, I deactivated or logged off of every social media account I owned for a whole year. And that was just for a single thesis+publication. Imagine working on hundreds of publications over your career, and how much focus you need for that.

i’m sorry but, the moment they had to ring his doorbell he should have had to forfeit the prize. absolutely ridiculous that they are handing out NO BELL prizes using door BELLS!
No Game theory would have predicted a cooperating neighbour. That too some who cares. Maybe the neighbor deserves a Nobel for disproving that. Caring is still a human trait,
Murray Gell-mann said he got a call at 2 in the morning when he won the Nobel Prize in 1969. Rather than go back to sleep his wife just made coffee and they stayed up to answer the rest of the calls, and newspaper journalists came by after sunrise to take pictures. His son posed in his Halloween costume.
A couple things here. 1. my man mashing that doorbell like 10 times in a row at 2am is great. 2. My man got dressed tucked his shirt in and walked across the street as if it was noon. 3. its 2am. I am sure the nobel prize committee is in another time zone with people this smart cant they figure out a way to work around waking my guy up at 2am. I bet he had a small heart attack. Congrats tho! lol
My neighbor is around the same age as these gentlemen and he dresses to the nines every day. Even wears a belt with his sweat suit😂❤️ he’s my favorite.

@@jaketyler7088 No, it cannot wait until the morning. The Nobel Prize committee can announce when they have talked to the person who has/have won it. Journalists and other people wait for the announcement. The announcement was delayed due to this. So the urgency was not irrational
Ironic as the economy is all about putting a price on people. Who knows, he might've been preoccupied with one of those people just when those neighbours knocked on his door.
The number of campaign calls and texts this election was outrageous. We need to tighten the regulations on those. People shouldn't need to resort to unplugging their phones.
Man, so annoying. Here you just want to sleep and be left alone, and then neighbors start bugging you in the middle of the night yappin' on about you having won the Nobel Prize. I hate it when that happens!
In 1994 the Feds were using a lottery to sell radio frequencies to people, so these guys came in saying "hey use an auction format, we came up with one specifically for this", and the Feds used it. 26 years later while the world's economy is burning, these ineffectual economists were the best they could come up with to give a prize to.
As a swede, I have to point out that this prize is not a Nobel Prize, as it was not mentioned and established in the original will of Alfred Nobel. It is instead a prize ”in the memory of Alfred Nobel” and paid by the swedish national bank. It is generally thougth of as a Nobel Prize since they celebrate it the same way and at the same time as the scientific Nobel Prize categories. I’m not saying it is a less important achievement to earn this prize, but it is technically a difference.
