To take a recent Nobel in Chemistry, graphene, the research dates back to the ’60s or so. Don’t the big lags imply that only old people will receive Nobels? Seems so to me.
I think your wording is off. You must mean ‘a bias towards people who were younger (at the time of the discovery) receiving Nobels’.
