The Spin
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine is a monumental breakthrough that will revolutionize healthcare. These three scientists discovered regulatory T cells and the Foxp3 gene, thereby solving the mystery of how the immune system prevents its own body from being attacked. Their work is already spurring life-saving treatments for cancer, autoimmune diseases and transplant medicine.
The Nobel Prizes spotlight transformative discoveries, shaping our view of scientific genius. Yet, they often celebrate only narrow slices of science while ignoring vast fields like ecology, climate and geology that are equally important. The awards systematically exclude hundreds of researchers who contribute to discoveries, recognizing only lab heads. This creates harmful bias that frequently overlooks women and people of color.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 50% chance that there will be a Nobel Prize in Physics awarded for work in string theory before 2050, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
