Interesting, but after a few guesses I realized how tough it was going to be and just wanted to see the list. Some sort of clue would be very helpful. Also, you hava a typo on 1990, says 1980.

Thanks for the suggestions. I added the scientific field as a hit since I agree that it is hard to get many of the answers.

Seems like it is pretty tilted towards the life sciences...how are different fields represented in
Science
in general?
