Well, there's the tanning salon bill for those Ph.D.'s who spent all their time in a tunnel. Higgs Boson Nobel Prize? Scientists Ponder Whether Prize Should Go To One Physicist Or Many There's the science, and then there's the glitter. As researchers celebrate the best-yet evidence of the existence of the Higgs boson, some are already thinking about who's going to get the Nobel Prize in physics for the seminal discovery. Who Deserves a Higgs Boson Nobel? One Scientist, or Many There's the science, and then there's the glitter. As researchers celebrate the best-yet evidence of the existence of the Higgs boson, some are already thinking about who's going to get the Nobel Prize in physics for the seminal discovery. The Higgs Boson: Why You Should Care About the God Particle. And, Sadly, Why You Don't Video My friend and collaborator Ainissa Ramirez, a Yale University materials scientist and TED Talker, likes to call herself a science evangelist, and her passion and expertise at science education is unparalleled. So this week, with the announcement about the discovery of the Higgs Boson, was both exciting--because of an amazing Higgs Boson humorists get mass following Higgs humor has humbled me. SciTechTalk: If it's the Higgs, now what? JIM ALGAR || United Press International With the July 4th announcement of the possible -- wait, make that probable -- no, actually, make that the almost certain confirmation of the existence of the Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle," physicists find themselves facing a fundamental question.
