all -
I don't know about other list members, but *I'd* be interested in
what a list of contenders for such a Prize might be.
So for the sake of curiosity if anyone sends me the title of the
essay/paper, written or published in the last two years, which has
most impressed them as a critical contribution to history
of science, then I will compile them and post the list to mersenne
and h-sci-med-tech
cheers,
Jon
