the problem with prizes is that they -- it's very difficult and i now sit on various prize committees, as you can imagine so just thinking about when you want to give a prize in a certain area, you want to recognize scientist that was done the work but you appreciate that, you know, at some level everybody's work is built on other people's and involves the work of a lot of younger scientists in the laboratories who aren't being, sort of named in particular by these prizes. so how do you deal with that? walter: how much would you say you had to depend on even though you're competing against george church or the institute or others, how would that be made better? in your book you don't talk about them. in his article he opportunity talk about you. it feels to me that, if i may, i could tell a story about what happened in technology with the microchip where both texas instruments and bob noise at intel co-invent around the same time. it's a 20-year patent battle and noble prize battle or whatever but finally noyes calls kilby and said, let's share the that thent and they do. prize lby ge

you mentioned your team who are they who does this you know i think you have your own ignoble prize committee oh yeah it's about one hundred people it's the editors of my magazine the annals of improbable research a few people who've won ignoble prizes a few people who have won nobel prizes some journalists some teachers and some people who have no connection to anything we try for a real mix of people people who are filled with curiosity. and who does the funding for all this improbable research is that universities private investors well yeah you're asking a really big question here so i'll try to give you a five hour answer compressed to about one minute you have a minute it's every case is different ok thank you now i feel nervous every case is different some of these things are funded with government money in whatever country it is some of them are funded with corporate money some are private a lot of these are just not funded at all it's something that some scientist or somebody just did on their own a lot of these are very small experiments. with science even more than with most things

prizes, it is difficult. prizesit on various committees, and thinking of, you want to give a prize in a certain area, and recognize a scientist who has done the work, but you appreciate at some level that everyone's work is built on other peoples work, and involves the work of other younger scientists in the laboratories were not being named in particular are these prizes. so how do you deal with that? walter: how much would you say that you would have to depend on, sort of the broad institute or the george church, and others. how would that be made better? in your book you do not talk about them? in his article he does not talk about you, and it seems to me that if i may, i could tell a story -- it happened with a microchip, where both texas instruments and jack gilby, and intel, coinvented around the same time -- a 20 year patent battle, and a noble prize battle, but finally, they call each other and say, let us just share the patent, and they do. and when kilby gets eight noble prize, he says, if he was alive he would be standing with me here. would you like to make a phone call and sort of bring all of these p

find in science these days, like who gets credit for this amazing thing, and secondly a nobel prize committee that can only award it to three people. does this bother you? is this a problem in science now? a problem it is definitely. i don't know how one solves this problem. ishink, you know, the truth i think that science always has included elements of both collaboration and competition. you need both in a way. you know, competition can be good. obviously it spurs people on to is how tochallenge get that balance right. what i think about a lot, how to attract younger scientists into our field. i think we want to draw in -- the ones honestly that are driving the work right now. they're in lab, and i'm sitting here talking to you. but people in my lab are there it, and they're driving the next results that will be coming out. how do we ensure that they attracted to our field and drawn into it. if there's a danger of -- you certain typesly of people feeling excluded, if of unfairnessing somehow, that that can be very attracting to younger scientists. prizes.ng with prizes, it's very difficult.
