  • 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.

  • Dear Colleague, This Invitation Is Being Sent on Behalf of Prof
    Dear colleague, On behalf of Prof. Fernand Marquis (San Diego State U., USA), Prof. Soteris Kalogirou (Cyprus U. of Technology, Cyprus), and Prof. Bernard Raveau (U. of Caen, France), co-chairs of the 2nd International Symposium on Solid State Chemistry for Applications and Sustainable Development in my capacity as President of SIPS 2020/2021, I am personally inviting you to participate as an author/speaker. This major symposium focuses on solid-state chemistry corresponds to the relationships occurring between the synthesis, structure, and physical-chemical properties of solid inorganic compounds (in most cases), leading to a final compound with optimized properties such as advances in the synthesis routes, design of materials for sustainable energy production, advanced characterization techniques and applications, etc. These and many others are among the topics of the symposium. This symposium will be held as part of the combined SIPS 2020/2021, an annual multidisciplinary summit, organized by the not-for-profit corporation FLOGEN Stars Outreach (www.flogen.org), which is dedicated to achieving sustainability through science and technology applied in various fields. It incorporates summit plenary lectures from well-known speakers that address the link between various domains in the pursuit of sustainable development, as well as specific scientific symposia featuring specialized presentations in a specific domain, with the same goals in mind. The symposium and overall summit are planned to be held in Phuket, Thailand from November 28th – December 2nd 2021. We have confirmed until now the participation of the following 9 Nobel Laureates: Prof. Dan Shechtman, Prof. Didier Queloz, Prof. M. Stanley Whittingham, Sir Konstantin Novoselov, Prof.
