very cool. Nice to see large collaborations recognized in this way. Also really nice to see that the prize money is donated to provide funds to students.

Yep - gets around the "individual" issue of a Nobel Prize and recognises *how* most science is done.

Great use of the money!

2025s 'I was just following orders' excuse: "In a statement 2 the Hollywood Reporter, the Breakthrough prize foundation said: 'This year’s ceremony lasted longer than the prior few years, & several edits were made in order 2 meet the originally planned run time.'"
