Unrestricted Immigration and the Foreign Dominance Of
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 -

He is known for his idea that young birds initially remember a tutor song and use the memory as a template to guide the development of their own song. He was the fi rst to show that estrogen prevents programmed cell death in female zebra fi nches. He also pioneered work on the brain mechanisms of sound localization by barn owls. He has trained many students and postdoctoral fellows who became leading neuroethologists. -

Message from the Chairman
Abstract1 6/01/09 8:36 Page 1 Abstract1 6/01/09 8:36 Page 2 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Recent years have been marked by unprecedented growth and development in the life sciences in areas such as gene sequencing, protein interactions and molecular biology. Research conducted during the last decade has resulted in important technological and conceptual advances, along with the development of treatments and early stage cures for diseases like cancer or neurodegenerative diseases. The full sequencing of the human genome, and of a growing number of other living organisms, has heralded a new era in molecular biology and genetics for human medicine. Although these discoveries have opened an unprecedented path toward medical advances, they have also revealed that organic, physiological and genetic mechanisms are far more complex than initially believed. I am therefore particularly honoured that such an impressive panel of scientists agreed to gather together at Ipsen’s new corporate headquarters to lecture on the challenging and exciting perspectives of medical innovation. Jean-Luc Bélingard, Chairman and CEO of the Ipsen Group Abstract1 6/01/09 8:36 Page 3 Professor at the Collège de France and the Institut Pasteur, he is a member of the French Académie des Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences US, the Institute of Medicine of the NAS. He discovered the allostery of proteins and isolated the nicotinic receptor of acetylcholine. Past president of the Comité National d’Ethique, he is the president of the Commission des dations, and the Jean-Pierre Changeux laureate of many scientific prizes: Chairperson médaille d’or du CNRS, Balzan prize, Louis-Jeantet Prize, Biotechnology Study Center of the New York University school of Medicine award, Jean-Louis Signoret Prize of la Fondation Ipsen, the National Academy of Sciences award in neurociences (2007). -
