All recipients of the Nobel Prize in Sciences this year are Americans and this increase the number recipient from the US to 165 and maintain its position as the most number of laureates by country, followed by the UK (110), Germany (94) and France (51).
Why majority of the laureates are from these countries? I think the answer lies in their education system, we on the other hand are too exam oriented! Changes need to be made, or else....
