Con las cinco reseñas de este número, ya han quedado registradas 95 historias de investigadores que atravesaron la turbulenta historia argentina reciente. En algunos casos, especialmente aquellos que inmigraron a la Argentina de jóvenes, también fueron afectados por las turbulencias mundiales. Por una cuestión cronológica, en estas historias hay algunas, pero no muchas, visiones de la argentina de las décadas del cuarenta y del cincuenta. En cambio, repetidamente aparece la tristemente famosa “noche de los bastones largos” de 1966, hace 50 años. Esta semana se realizaron diversos actos de recuerdo y análisis de ese acontecimiento, que incluyó, por ejemplo, un reconocimiento a Mariana Weissmann por parte de los Ministros de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación y de Medios Públicos. Mariana es una de las autoras reseñadas en nuestro primer número. Lógicamente, el espanto de lo que aconteció a partir de 1974 superó con creces lo visto anteriormente, y esos hechos también aparecen reflejados en los artículos de nuestra revista. La situación cambió a partir de la recupe- ración de la democracia en 1983. Al margen de las fuertes fluctuaciones en la importancia que las sucesivas admi- nistraciones dieron a la ciencia y la técnica, las cazas de brujas a lo sumo tomaron la forma de discriminaciones embozadas al comienzo de la gestión del Presidente Menem. Ahora entramos en un debate que toma un cariz mucho más razonable. El cambio de signo político en la con- ducción del país vino acompañado por la continuidad de los equipos de ciencia y tecnología, y la confrontación de ideas toma la forma de distintas visualizaciones sobre cuán dependiente es la política científica del modelo socio económico. Yo personalmente creo fuertemente que el sistema de ciencia y técnica es indispensable para cualquier Asociación Argentina proyecto político, y que es un error atar el mismo a una determinada línea política. Al margen de las discrepancias, creo vislumbrar un fuerte consenso básico, sobre la necesidad de preservar, potenciar y aumentar las fortalezas logradas por el sistema durante el comienzo del siglo XXI. En este número incluimos la reseña de Mario Albornoz, nombre indisolublemente ligado con la cientometría (¡no confundir con cienciología!) y por lo tanto al diagnóstico del estado de la ciencia en nuestro país y en nuestra región. para el Progreso Horacio Corti nos cuenta su visión integradora de ciencia y tecnología que sirve para ilustrar los excelentes re- sultados que puede brindar la complementación y coordinación de las instituciones de nuestro complejo sistema de ciencia y técnica; esta coordinación es en buena medida todavía una asignatura pendiente. Oscar Piro nos introduce en el mundo de la física del estado sólido; él es uno de los pioneros de una cristalo- grafía vista como herramienta para resolver problemas de diversas disciplinas. También ilustra bien la complemen- de las Ciencias tación entre teoría y experimento en Física. 4 CIENCIA E INVESTIGACIÓN - RESEÑAS - TOMO 4 Nº 2 - 2016 Francisco “Tito” Baralle a su vez nos presenta la historia de uno de los muchos emigrados científicos que demos- traron la potencialidad de nuestros recursos humanos en los mejores laboratorios del mundo; su reseña nos pone en contacto con varios laureados con el premio Nobel, con Cambridge y Oxford en el Reino Unido, y con el Centro Internacional de Ingeniería Genética y Biotecnología de Trieste. Isidoro Schalamuk nos lleva al mundo de la geología, y concluye con reflexiones muy oportunas sobre la im- portancia que está tomando en la actualidad la comprensión del funcionamiento del planeta Tierra en cualquier programación científica. La irrupción militar de 1966 y sus consecuencias aparecen explícitamente en las reseñas de Albornoz, Baralle y Schalamuk, e incluso en la Corti, quien por edad no la vivió personalmente como universitario. Piro por su parte se refiere al tema con la muy respetable visión de un tozudo científico que no permitió que las turbulencias políticas lo apartaran de la exploración de las fronteras del conocimiento. Espero que disfruten de este número tanto como de los anteriores. Dr. Miguel Ángel Blesa Buenos Aires, 31 de julio de 2016.

CHEMISTRY NOBELS In the International Year of Chemistry, C Sivaram charts the Nobel prize winning achievements in the field, from work on synthesis of sugars to vitamin chemistry. his year is the International Year of TChemistry. Major achievements in chemistry are recognised every year by way of the Nobel Prize. The very first Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded in 1901 went to Dutch chemist Jacobus Vant Hoff mainly for formulating laws of osmotic pressure in solutions. The 1902 prize went to Emil Fischer for work on sugar chemistry leading to synthe- sis of sugars and purines. He was a student of Adolf Von Bayer, who himself got the prize in 1905 for synthesis of organic dyes, including that of the indigo dye. This proved disastrous for the Indian indigo plant export, which was earlier the only source for the dye. Two other Fischers also got the chem- istry Nobel. One was Hans Fischer, who got it in 1930 for the constitution of chlorophyll, use of substituted porphyrins leading to eventual synthesis of haemin.

  • Identification of Successful Mentoring Communities Using Network-Based
    Scientometrics DOI 10.1007/s11192-017-2364-4 Identification of successful mentoring communities using network-based analysis of mentor–mentee relationships across Nobel laureates 1,2 2 1 Julia H. Chariker • Yihang Zhang • John R. Pani • Eric C. Rouchka2,3 Received: 20 September 2016 Ó The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Skills underlying scientific innovation and discovery generally develop within an academic community, often beginning with a graduate mentor’s laboratory. In this paper, a network analysis of doctoral student-dissertation advisor relationships in The Academic Family Tree indicates the pattern of Nobel laureate mentoring relationships is non-random. Nobel laureates had a greater number of Nobel laureate ancestors, descen- dants, mentees/grandmentees, and local academic family, supporting the notion that assortative processes occur in the selection of mentors and mentees. Subnetworks com- posed entirely of Nobel laureates extended across as many as four generations. Several successful mentoring communities in high-level science were identified, as measured by number of Nobel laureates within the community. These communities centered on Cam- bridge University in the latter nineteenth century and Columbia University in the early twentieth century. The current practice of building web-based academic networks, extended to include a wider variety of measures of academic success, would allow for the identification of modern successful scientific communities and should be promoted.

  • List of Nobel Laureates 1
    List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.

While I had envisaged a fittingly brief CV with highlights of my professional career, my colleague Vitali Nesterenko suggested I simply “start writing” without too much thought as to the outcome. I fear I have exceeded anything he could have imagined, and, at the risk of conjuring up Huxley’s [6] unkind image of Proust in his bathtub, I ask the reader to indulge me in my recollection of various minutiae of my career.

Em contraste com o Prémio Nobel, este prémio não é originário do legado de Alfred Nobel , mas, foi fundada pelo banco central sueco em 1968. O prêmio Nobel foi concedido 829 vezes, das quais 23 prêmios são filiados com as organizações. [1] A presente lista classifica laureados com o país ou países que são avaliados pelo comitê do Prêmio Nobel em seu site. [2] Alguns laureados estão listados em mais de um país, porque o site oficial menciona vários países em relação ao laureado. [3 ] Se um país é apenas mencionado como o local de nascimento, um asterisco (*) é utilizado na lista respectiva para indicar isso. [4] Neste caso, o nascimento do país é mencionado em itálico nas outras listas do laureado. Para o mesmo prêmio, de dois lugares de nascimento anúncios relacionados ocorrer quando o local de nascimento está atualmente em um país diferente, em seguida, no momento do nascimento. Laureate país conexões que não são mencionados no site oficial, não são consideradas nesta lista. As organizações estão listadas aqui, se o comitê do Prêmio Nobel refere -los para um único país.
