STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - If you are a woman scientist, don't hold your breath for a call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the venerable body that awards the Nobel prizes. 

If history is a guide, a couple of greying men are likely to win the 2005 Nobel physics and chemistry prizes, to be announced on Oct. 4 and Oct. 5 respectively. They will receive the 10 million crown ($1.28 million) prize in December.
