The beginning of October means Nobel Prize season. Six days, six prizes, new faces from around the globe added to the world's most elite roster of scientists, writers, economists and human rights leaders.
That is when committees in Stockholm and Oslo announce the winners of what many consider the most prestigious awards in the world. This years Nobel season kicks off Monday, Oct. 3, 2022 with the medicine award being announced. Daily announcements will follow during the week with physics Tuesday, chemistry Wednesday and literature on Thursday.
The economics award — officially known as the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel — wasn’t created by Nobel, but by Sweden’s central bank in 1968. They include university professors, lawmakers, previous Nobel laureates and the committee members themselves.
