Telomeres win Nobel!

[Clinton Huxley]

Jack W. Szostak cited on this. Born in the UK. We'll take that as a British Nobel prize then

He must have been working in the US. Ours.

So the USA has to import its brains

One of the women cited is from Tasmania. Which means she's british as well.

Come on, if we can claim Greg Rusedski we can claim anyone

In the ten years ending in 2004, over 50% of the "hard science" Nobels went to people living in the US. We don't import our brains, you lot export them. Are they not needed there any more?

We only export the surplus.

Number of Nobel Prizes, per capita:-

UK: 1.6 Nobel prizes per million people (6th in the rankings)
USA: 0.91 Nobel prizes per million people (11th)

Interestingly, the top 5 places are taken by Iceland and the Scandinavian countries, so the least religious countries has all the brains...

So we have about 5 Nobels for every 1.6 in England? Cool.

You exported your best minds back in the 1600-1700s.

Tasmania? Seriously, we'll give it back to you if you want it, we'll ship it over even. It would be nice for both countries to get some genetic variation.
