If you are aware of an interesting new academic paper (that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal or has appeared on the arXiv), a conference talk (at an official professional scientific meeting), an external blog post (by a professional scientist) or a news item (in the mainstream news media), which you think might make an interesting topic for an FQXi blog post, then please contact us at forums@fqxi.org with a link to the original source and a sentence about why you think that the work is worthy of discussion. Please note that we receive many such suggestions and while we endeavour to respond to them, we may not be able to reply to all suggestions.
Please also note that we do not accept unsolicited posts and we cannot review, or open new threads for, unsolicited articles or papers. Requests to review or post such materials will not be answered.

| Daniel Bedingham |
The prize was the brainchild of FQXi member, Sabine Hossenfelder, an assistant professor at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics. Sabine won an FQXi mini-grant and requested that it be used to establish an award that would "encourage young people to not passively swim with the mainstream, but to take a risk and try something genuinely novel."
The winner, Daniel Bedingham, is a physicist who works part-time as an analyst at an investment bank while carrying out research at Imperial. He was nominated by Philip Pearle, at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York , who commended the quality of Bedingham’s research on quasi-relativistic dynamical collapse theories and his dedication to foundational research, despite the financial sacrifice.
Daniel Bedingham wins an award of $1000 and FQXi membership. Congratulations Daniel!

Is "a physicist who works part-time as an analyst at an investment bank" the most courageous postdoc? This rather is a choice of money and very "helpful to one’s career".... not very courageous for a physicist. Moreover doing quantum physics in the quantum physicist institute of the Imperial College London is not exactly what I mean for ... "local environment being unsupportive or even outright discouraging".
Postdocs, don't loose your time in foundation of physics. Be brave and go to work in a bank!
FQXi .... please!

Remember, the award is given to a postdoc, not to an established practicing physicist. As I read the article, I get that the individual was nominated for the quality of his research output. Such quality is usually only possible for one with the luxury of devoting his time to research alone.
If one doubts that it takes a great deal of grit and determination (I think that's what "courage" means in this context) to research and publish quality work while holding down a day job, one should give it a try.
