Not affiliated to the Open University apparently. But equally unopen which is funny.
TODO vs KEGG.
Notably in STEM, not so interested in literature of course:
Here's a SPARQL sketch for Wikidata that can be run at query.wikidata.org/. It gathers all the relevant data, but TODO we don't know how to do the proper query yet:
# List of living Nobel Laureates sorted by date of birth
SELECT DISTINCT ?recipient ?recipientLabel $birthDate ?awardLabel ?nobelDate ?educatedAtLabel ?academicDegree ?academicDegreeLabel ?doctorateDate

This section is about hardcore people who don't have a PhD.
Paul's bastardness is more striking than his Nobel Prize and that is awesome.
Family Trees Can Be Dangerous by Paul Nurse
. Source. Fantastic video of Paul describing his bastard story. What a legend. He speaks very well.Fun fact, in 2024 Ciro Santilli corrected John's place of birth on hist Nobel Prize page: www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2002/sulston/facts/, details: Getting a list of all currencies from Wikidata with SPARQL.
John Sulston in 2008
. Source. The cool think about Ramanujan is how British mathematicians heard about him and then just went crazy that someone they had never heard of before had come up with so many novel results. It is as if God had come down from the clouds and handed them those results. Without proof. But in that field of research, the statements are not easy to come up with, so much so that G. H. Hardy commented that:
they must be true, because, if they were not true, no one would have the imagination to invent them
They suffer extremely from Section "To talk about something without giving the real name to not scare off the audience". But they also have merits.
There are unlisted articles, also show them or only show them.
