    Since Rolf Schimpf is not on the list, I go with Herwig Schopper.
  14. Welcome to the first Deathlist-competition dedicated to Nobel laureates: The Nobel Prize Dead Pool As always, the nomination period opens on December 1st, 2023 and ends on January 31st, 2024. 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! The list of teams published below will help you! Further rules: 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 2024 laureates cannot be chosen since they are unknown until October! The Nobel Prize Dead Pool will start from February 1st, 2024, the day the nomination period for new laureates ends. The last day to score a hit will be January 31st, 2025! 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 2022 seven (So do not expect a rushing contest!) – the scoring will honor every hit separately. So good luck and enjoy the contest.

    The Nobel Prize Dead Pool 2024/25

    After a few days of confusion, it seems to be true: Martin Karplus seems to have died - Somewhen between End of December and the third of January, and I am waiting for an official confirmation. But the points for @diego will be the following: 3.820 points! Congrats. Please choose an new chemistry laureate.

    The Nobel Prize Dead Pool 2025/26

    Happy new year everyone. Pleas triple check the spreadsheed, there were some confusins New Year's night on Martin Karplus, who seemed to have died. Since there is no confirmation, Shirakawa reamins nominee @Hell In case, Karplus death is confirmed, @ThereWillBeDeaths7 can nominate another chemistry laureate. Hell's nomination of Shirakawa is valid.
