1980 chemistry laureate Paul Berg has died at 96. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2023/02/nobel-paul-berg-obit.html Congrats to @Hell for receiving 3.520 points. Please choose a new chemistry laureate.

Welcome to the first Deathlist-competition dedicated to Nobel laureates: The Nobel Prize Dead Pool Since the inaugural contest 2021 was a bit shorter, I will start this one early enough. The nomination period opens on December 1st, 2021 and ends on January 31st, 2022. The rules are still easy: Pick one living Nobel laureate by each category (Physics, Chemistry, Medicine/Physiology/Peace/Literature and Economic Sciences), who you think will die during the following next twelve months. This will make six nominated people. Send your list between December 1st and January 31st! My remaining rule: No laureate can be chosen twice, so check who was picked by other deadpoolers! Two New rules for this year: 1. In case, one of your laureates dies, replace him/her by a person from the same category. This will give you the chance to score twice in a category. 2. I will be the last to choose my picks – to avoid discrepancies for the other contestants! Every laureate who dies in December or January will be excluded automatically and should be replaced in case of being chosen. People, who accepted the award on behalf of someone or represent an organization are excluded from the contest, the 2022 laureates cannot be chosen since they are unknown until October! The Nobel Prize Dead Pool will start from February 1st, the day the nomination period for new laureates ends. The last day to score a hit will be January 31st, 2023! All main sources will be accepted as well as the official Nobel Prize website www.nobelprize.org. (The deaths will be mentioned there, so no lost hits to expect!) Since not so many Nobel laureates die during a year - 2017, 2019 and 2020 it had been 9 dead laureates per year, 2018 there were 18, in 2021 so far 11 (So do not expect a rushing contest!) – the scoring will honor every hit separately. So good luck and enjoy the contest.

Lee for me, please.

Winner of the second Nobel Prize Dead Pool is @wannamaker for 2022/23.

The Nobel Prize Dead Pool 2023/24 has now officially started. Good luck to all participants!

The Nobel Prize Dead Pool 2022/23 is now officially closed. The winner is @wannamaker who scored 5624 points, followed by @arghton with 4.738 points and @MortalCaso is third with 3.630 points. Congrats to you! Extra points have been awarded for @chilean way (plus one point for the oldest death of this years contest) and @arghton as well (plus 8 points for the oldest hit). Three other contestants have also scored: @Salmon Mousse has 2.730 points, @Book has 1.520 points and @chilean way finally 1.421 points. Despite the new possibility of replacing a deceased candidate by another laureate of the same category, no one scored more than once this year. The hits 2022/23 in detail: Two hits were physics laureates (Mottelson and Müller), the four other laureates came from different categories: Medicine/Physiology (Montagnier), Peace (Gorbachev), Chemistry (Curl) and Economic Sciences (Prescott). There occured no death of a Nobel laureate in literature the third year in a row. Two Nobel laureates (Altman and Trimble) did not score, since they were not chosen by anyone. To make it short: This was a silent year in this pool. Thanks to everyone for participating and all the best!

Whose first lady was Bob Dylan?

I am not sure, which topic is for a pick from 2021, who died in 2022, but in some kind, she is a candidate for the List of the Missed, I think? https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_T.html#telandk021 Kajsa Telander, Swedish author, has died back in November 2022. https://www.dn.se/familj/dodsannonser/#/CaseInline/817524?query=Kajsa Telander
