The Nobel Prize is perhaps the world's most well known scientific award. Every year it is given to scientists and scholars in chemistry, literature, physics, medicine, economics, and peace. In this project, I aanalyzed the characteristics of the prize winners. Which country gets it most often? Has anybody gotten it multiple times? And much more!
I have used one dataset (courtesy of Datacamp and Kaggle) for the analysis.
‘nobel.csv’ contains a record for every individual or organization that was awarded the Nobel Prize since its inception in 1901.
These are some of the key findings for this project:
-
The first Nobel Prize was handed out in 1901, and at that time the Prize was very Eurocentric and male-focused.
-
The most common Nobel laureate between 1901 and 2016 was a man born in the United States of America. But in 1901 all the winners were European.
