The 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Pure Appl. Chem. 2016; 88(10-11): 917–918 Editorial Hugh D. Burrows* and Richard M. Hartshorn* The 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry DOI 10.1515/pac-2016-2005 Keywords: Ben L. Feringa; Jean-Pierre Sauvage; J. Fraser Stoddart; Nobel Prize in Chemistry; 2016. Pure and Applied Chemistry warmly congratulates Jean-Pierre Sauvage (University of Strasbourg, France), Sir J. Fraser Stoddart (Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA), and Bernard (Ben) L. Feringa (Univer- sity of Groningen, the Netherlands) on their award of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The citation from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences states that the award is “for the design and synthesis of molecu- lar machines”. Their work encompasses a broad spectrum of Chemistry, from elegant synthetic studies of catenanes, rotaxanes and other formerly considered exotic molecules, through coordination chemistry, and electron transfer reactions, to molecular switches and rotors driven by light and other external sources. They have all participated actively in IUPAC endorsed meetings and conference series, including the IUPAC World Congress in Chemistry, IUPAC International Conferences on Organic Synthesis (ICOS), Physical Organic Chemistry (ICPOC), and Coordination Chemistry (ICCC), and IUPAC International Symposia on Macrocyclic Chemistry (ISMC), Organometallic Chemistry Directed Towards Organic Synthesis (OMCOS), Novel Aromatic Compounds (ISNA), Carbohydrate Chemistry (ICS), the Chemistry of Natural Products ISCNP), and Photo- chemistry. Pure Appl. Chem. publishes collections of papers based upon authoritative lectures presented at such IUPAC endorsed events, in addition to IUPAC Recommendations, and Technical Reports. We are very pleased to highlight the following publications from these three Nobel Laureates that have been published in Pure and Applied Chemistry as a result of their involvement in these conferences.

Nobel Laureates Endorse Joe Biden
Nobel Laureates endorse Joe Biden 81 American Nobel Laureates in Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine have signed this letter to express their support for former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 election for President of the United States. At no time in our nation’s history has there been a greater need for our leaders to appreciate the value of science in formulating public policy. During his long record of public service, Joe Biden has consistently demonstrated his willingness to listen to experts, his understanding of the value of international collaboration in research, and his respect for the contribution that immigrants make to the intellectual life of our country. As American citizens and as scientists, we wholeheartedly endorse Joe Biden for President. Name Category Prize Year Peter Agre Chemistry 2003 Sidney Altman Chemistry 1989 Frances H.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions: Over 20 Years of European Support for Researchers’ Work
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions: Over 20 years of European support for researchers’ work Since 1994, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions have provided grants to train excellent researchers at all stages of their careers - be they doctoral candidates or highly experienced researchers – while encouraging transnational, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. In 1996, the programme was named after the double Nobel Prize winner Marie Skłodowska-Curie to honour and spread the values she stood for. To date, more than 120 000 researchers have participated in the programme with many more benefiting from it – among them nine Nobel laureates and an Oscar winner. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions in the future Building on the success of the programme over more than twenty years, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions will continue to fund a new generation of outstanding, early-career researchers under Horizon Europe, the new European research and innovation programme for 2021-2027. The Commission has proposed a budget of EUR 6.8 billion for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions under Horizon Europe which will now be the subject of negotiations with the European Parliament and Council. Stakeholders will have an opportunity to have their say in autumn 2018 to help shape the specific Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions funding schemes for the period 2021-2027.

Nfap Policy Brief » October 2019
NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF» OCTOBER 2019 IMMIGRANTS AND NOBEL PRIZES : 1901- 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Immigrants have been awarded 38%, or 36 of 95, of the Nobel Prizes won by Americans in Chemistry, Medicine and Physics since 2000.1 In 2019, the U.S. winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics (James Peebles) and one of the two American winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (M. Stanley Whittingham) were immigrants to the United States. This showing by immigrants in 2019 is consistent with recent history and illustrates the contributions of immigrants to America. In 2018, Gérard Mourou, an immigrant from France, won the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 2017, the sole American winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was an immigrant, Joachim Frank, a Columbia University professor born in Germany. Immigrant Rainer Weiss, who was born in Germany and came to the United States as a teenager, was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing it with two other Americans, Kip S. Thorne and Barry C. Barish. In 2016, all 6 American winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and scientific fields were immigrants.

Open Letter to the American People
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 18, 2016 AN OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE The coming Presidential election will have profound consequences for the future of our country and the world. To preserve our freedoms, protect our constitutional government, safeguard our national security, and ensure that all members of our nation will be able to work together for a better future, it is imperative that Hillary Clinton be elected as the next President of the United States. Some of the most pressing problems that the new President will face — the devastating effects of debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and cancer, the need for alternative sources of energy, and climate change and its consequences — require vigorous support for science and technology and the assurance that scientific knowledge will inform public policy. Such support is essential to this country’s economic future, its health, its security, and its prestige. Strong advocacy for science agencies, initiatives to promote innovation, and sensible immigration and education policies are crucial to the continued preeminence of the U.S. scientific work force. We need a President who will support and advance policies that will enable science and technology to flourish in our country and to provide the basis of important policy decisions. For these reasons and others, we, as U.S. Nobel Laureates concerned about the future of our nation, strongly and fully support Hillary Clinton to be the President of the United States.
