Minor detail but I believe it was LP father who had passed away. Great read nonetheless

So if there were to be a Nobel Prize nomination it sounds like bo.th Dr. Liau and Boynton, and perhaps even Prins should be named, or do you believe that Liau should get the lions share of the credit.

On the 3rd of Oct, 2011, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine announced that Dr. Steinman had received one-half of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for "his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity". However, they were not aware that he had died just three days earlier, from pancreatic cancer https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15156342

He co-founded Argos Therapeutics, another company that tested a DC based vaccine* for cancer, which also failed.
