[open-science] A Public List of Notable, Senior Open Scientists

[Tom Morris]

I posted the spreadsheet to G+, but forgot to come back and link to it
here.  You can find the discussion at:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/105251844408815803021/posts/22bCAxMTkaE and a
direct link to the spreadsheet here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ak8syCNT8x2DdGZBd3JYeVppWldybFNkOVFrWHZwbkE&usp=sharing

There were 88 laureates in all and the spreadsheet includes nationalities
from Freebase, links to Wikipedia articles, and links to the original
letters.
