A royal gold medal
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (IVA, the same org that selects winners for three of the Nobel prize categories) awards me a gold medal 2025 for my work on curl.

@uastronomer it bothers me when popular sites I enjoy reading, like MyBroadband, focus too much on numbers for the sake of numbers without explaining how they arrive at them.
