Nobel protester wins alternative prize: Stockholm ceremony proceeds despite dispute.: I find it disturbing and embarassing that a famous scientist can be such a big baby.

"In one of the most vitriolic acts of academic indignation on record, Raymond Damadian -- a pioneer of magnetic resonance imaging -- last week bitterly criticized the committee for giving the prize for medicine to Britain's Peter Mansfield and America's Paul Lauterbur, to be presented in Stockholm on Wednesday.
