Нобель. Химия. 2010

А директор философски изрек: "Акира Судзуки премию ждал 30 лет"

Интересное замечание с одного англоязычного сайта по поводу Сузуки, науки, престижа и денег.

For me the biggest mystery in Pd coupling is what contribution Miyaura made to the the “Suzuki” coupling. In the Japanese system many of the assistant professors working under the main guy have totally independent programs, but are compelled to include the main guy as an author because they provide the money and prestige and as a sign of respect. By the time the first “Suzuki” coupling was done, Miyaura had been Suzuki’s assistant professor for over 12 years. It is not inconceivable that Miyaura is actually more responsible for the coupling than the name commonly associated with it.
I actually sometimes wonder if any Japanese professors have ever gotten credit for a Nobel Prize for an idea they had nothing to do with beyond providing labs and funding.
