Hey Nobel Prize in Medicine! You've got competition. This morning, a bevy of techoscenti billionaires including Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin announced the first recipients of their Breakthrough Prize for Life Sciences, a $3 million award "recognizing excellence in research aimed at curing intractable diseases and extending human life." This year, there are 11 recipients, meaning a total $33 million payout, but in the future five annual awards will be planned, totalling $15 million.
