I thought about picking one of those Literature Nobel Prize winners, but focused mostly on Alice Munro. I think Kertesz was still active in public last year. This has been a bigger day in the history of deadpooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Munro, Carter, Kissinger, Trimble, Obama. Not living, I'd have named Charles Townes (friend of a friend, apparently a nice guy) and Frederick Sanger (who I was once lined up to interview, but he became too ill). I know Kohn was a big name in his field, but his field sort of goes woosh over my head - I was never very good at getting science classes at school. RIP anyhow.

Death Impends 7,961 Posted April 22, 2016 Watson and Higgs definitely strike me as the ones with the most name recognition among the more science-y living laureates. Whereas there's probably at least 10 living peace laureates who are very well known, even if that tends to be from a high profile pre-Nobel, what with many of them being heads of state.
