Thats 1.226 points for @diego

He was one of two remaining laureates of the 1950s and scores as nonagenarian Physics laureate from Asia.

 

Congrats, please choose a new physics laureate

Last year I don't think I scored in this game, so this is my debut on the scoreboard in this game
I choose Klaus Ferdinand Hasselmann to replace

Andrew V. Schally is a hit for me:

Mario Renato Capecchi is my candidate selected to fill the vacancy. Thanks, @WEP.

Jimmy Carter has died.

 

As a centenarian peace laureate from the 2000s, who was awarded alone, he earns 5.714 points (and will be current candidate for the "oldest hit of the year" bonus).

 

Congrats @Funeralopolis, please choose a new peace laureate - the contest still runs on for a month!

2016 chemistry laureate Fraser Stoddard has died aged 82.

 

He was worth 3.830 points but was not chosen by anyone.

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.
