Probably people who have heard of these scientists being recently credited for their work.

The phrase "all the credit" is a bit sensationalist, and it's too easy to poke holes in, although I do concede that "Most of the credit" is vague and "All of the Nobel Prize recognition and prize money / peer accolades" is a bit too wordy.

It's important that we don't weaken the cause by easily disprovable exaggeration. These scientists did not get nearly enough credit; true.
