We'd never heard of Tall Poppy Syndrome, but your thoughtful link both enlightened us and made us realize we have that in the U.S., too, although we don't have a common name for it like you do. Now we eagerly await your observations on Higgs boson, about which we are also most excited.<br /><br />Mazel tov on your Major Award!
