    Unrestricted Immigration and the Foreign Dominance of United States Nobel Prize Winners in Science: Irrefutable Data and Exemplary Family Narratives—Backup Data and Information Andrew A. Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods. Outline of Presentation • A preliminary examination of the 609 Nobel Prize Winners, 291 of whom were at an American Institution when they received the Nobel in physics, chemistry or physiology and medicine • Will look at patterns of

  • The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Biomedicine Goes to Tony Hunter, Joseph Schlessinger and Charles Sawyers
    The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Biomedicine goes to Tony Hunter, Joseph Schlessinger and Charles Sawyers for opening the door to the personalized treatment of cancer The winners represent the three steps in research leading to this advance: Tony Hunter discovered tyrosine kinases, Joseph Schlessinger identified the principle through which they function, and Charles Sawyers brought this knowledge to the clinic and the development of novel cancer therapies Their contributions served initially to treat a variety of leukemia, transforming it from a fatal into a chronic disorder, but have since given rise to effective therapies for lung and breast cancer, melanoma and lymphomas, among other conditions José Baselga, Physician-in-Chief at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and nominator of Charles Sawyers, described the contributions of the three laureates as marking “the birth of personalized anti-cancer medicine” Madrid, January 27, 2015.- The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Biomedicine category is shared in this seventh edition by Tony Hunter, professor and Director of the Salk Institute Cancer Center in La Jolla, California; Joseph Schlessinger, Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology at Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, and Charles Sawyers, Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program Chair at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, for “carving out the path that led to the development of a new class of successful cancer drugs.” For José Baselga, Physician-in-Chief
