*Getting along well with your colleagues internationally is an important part of being considered, because others decide whether you'll be nominated.

*The prize is named for Alfred Nobel, who willed a large sum of money for the prizes. The first prizes were given on December 10, 1901, which was the fifth anniversary of Nobel's death.
