I will say I do love the format of this Nobel award, really giving it to a vertical slice of chemistry, from the synthetic chemists who came up with the techniques, to Bertozzi who is just brilliant in the way she constructs experiments to understand biology. It makes the point that often the best chemistry is tremendously collaborative and adjacent fields can skyrocket each other with even modest interaction. I'm having trouble finding ways how people can make themselves mad about this award, it seems incredibly well deserved.

I am just random passerby with minimal underasting of chemistry, but from what I have read about this, it seems absolutely brilliant. Why are people mad about the price?

Realistically nobody should be mad about this prize. It's very well deserved
