Nice post, OP! I haven't read anything by Han Kang; will have to update my to-read list.

not sure if you saw the discourse about the "Physiology or Medicine: Victor Ambros, Gary Ruvkun" one. but it was argued why not Rosalind Lee also not recognized. it seems like she was big contribution to Ambros work that got awarded (and is his wife - RA in his lab turned wife) where them sharing the prize sounds like no one would bat an eye but leaving her off has people questioning it.
