A Nobel too far?

America's scientific dominance could have serious repercussions

There is a terrible joke much loved by scientists, but not many
others. A man spots a farmer standing in a field in the rain. 'Why?'
he asks. The farmer replies: 'I am trying to win a Nobel Prize. You
get one for being out standing in your field.'
If only it was that easy. As researchers will tell you, the real thing
requires decades of commitment, hard graft, luck, and some grey matter
- although these days you will need another key qualification: a US
passport, or at least a US chequebook.
