When Berkeleyside spoke to newly anointed Nobel Prize winner Saul Perlmutter earlier today, he joked that the “only reason to win a Nobel Prize” was to receive the famous Nobel laureate (NL) parking permit, reserved for laureates on the Berkeley campus.
Today he was presented with the coveted permit which is a free lifetime pass to park in designated spaces near the central UC Berkeley campus.
Which prize is better we wonder?
