I feel like there should be some kind of organization for giving the equivalent of a Nobel prize posthumously to people who undeniably deserved one but for one reason or another never got one. People like Tom Kibble, Gilbert Lewis, Rosalind Franklin, Emmy Noether...

Hm. I wanted to add at least one poc scientist to this list, but I couldn't actually think of any. I think that reflects a problem both in society and in me.
