The esteemed recipients join a remarkable list of great men and women whose revolutionary discoveries and innovations have transformed our world. They have expanded our knowledge of the brain, pioneered new materials, illuminated vital genetic processes, developed essential sources of light, and deepened our understanding of global climate change. These scientists and engineers have made enormous strides in their fields, improving the lives of billions of people across the world, and paving the way for a better future. Among the seven Benjamin Franklin Medal recipients is Philadelphia geneticist Douglas Wallace, Ph.D., who was the first to show that mutations in mitochondrial DNA can cause inherited human disease. The Bower Award for Achievement in Science, which includes a $250,000 prize, one of the most significant scientific prizes in America, is presented to French glaciologist and climate change pioneer Claude Lorius, Ph.D., whose monumental discoveries in Antarctica have significantly impacted our overall understanding of climate and launched an awareness of the effects of global warming.

SINCE the days of Watt the physical well-being of mankind has become more and more dependent on fossil fuels. The life of to-day would be impossible without the enormous supply of coal necessary to industrial establishments, for railways and steamships, in the metallurgical arts and for the heating and lighting of our houses. The demand for fossil coal has increased very rapidly, about doubling every ten years during the last .cen- tury, and is now some 12oo millions of metric tons per year. It is clear to those who have studied the matter that our coal fields will be exhausted after a certain, time. When this calamity will happen, and the probability of the discovery of substitute sources of energy, are questions of vital importance. One of these questions was answered by the Geological Con- gress in Canada in I913. The quantity of fossil coal down to a depth of IgOO metres would suffice for 6ooo years, at the present rate of consumption, if it were all recoverable, but a very great deal of this coal occurs in beds too thin for profitable working, a considerable part is lost as dust, or !eft in the mines as pillars, and further, the use of coal will probably increase in the future just as it has done in the past. It is, therefore, necessary to reduce the indicated time considerably, probably to one-fourth, or about I5OO years.
