Angela Collier - Who Gets The Nobel Prize?

This is an outline for a screenplay about how much more civilized science is now, compared to how it was in the roaring twenties:

Read The Discovery of Insulin by Michael Bliss. But was it discovered? It sounds to me more like it was invented. Chewing coca leaves must have an effect on Diabetes, but the insulin industry is such a big profit-centre that I think nobody is interested in trying to find out what reverting to chewing leaves does to somebody's metabolism. See Islets of Langerhans in Science Direct.

The short-list of Nobel Laureates at the end is worth careful scrutiny. I reckon our Dave would be great as the guy whose only job was going around at night collecting the dogs. And there are dog-roles by the score in this movie.

I sure we could do better than this! See David Lynch's Weather Report December 18, 2020. David is dying. He has emphysema and can't leave his house, but he is able to direct from home.

The Fleetwoods - Come Softly to Me (1958)

See Juan Browne - Calling Today From Tomorrow Promising Yesterday's News October 25, 2021. Maybe Guy Ritchie would be interested in co-directing this? He has his own airfield somewhere down in the South of England.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the time, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory Illinois. Did
