# Call to diversify Nobel Prize nominations before it's too late

Nature published an editorial urging Nobel Prize committees and nominators to broaden and diversify nominations before the current system entrenches further inequities. It argues that women and other underrepresented scientists are overlooked, weakening the prizes' credibility and impact. The call matters because Nobel recognition influences careers, funding, and public perceptions of who belongs in science.
