#70 ULTRAVIOLET WAVES: Against the Nobel Prizes

Even without going through the “Ultraviolet Waves” to the Nobel Prizes, it is obvious that it is an award for men to emphasize men. Somebody's gonna say, "What does it matter?" It is an initiative of a private foundation. Let them do what they want! Well, it's not like that. The Nobel Foundation, with the gender gap unacceptable in the 21st century, publicly acknowledged that it would take steps to increase diversity. On the other hand, participation in scientific activity is included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and since these awards create references, they leave without reference anyone who is not a white man of the Global North.

To complete the section, we wanted to refer to the research carried out by a nearby scientist, Aitziber Calléja Satrustegi, from the UPNA, in his doctoral thesis, in relation to leafy vegetables.
