What do all of the 2016 Nobel Prize winners have in common?
People are not too happy about this year's Nobel Prize winners.
After American singer-songwriter, Bob Dylan on Thursday morning was awarded the final Nobel Prize of 2016, the Nobel Prize in Literature, people began calling attention to the fact that no contributions from women were recognized.
People flocked to Twitter to share their disappointment surrounding this year's eleven Nobel Prize recipients, all of whom are men.
