SCS Faculty: The Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science
– The Bower Award and Prize from the historic Franklin Institute,
which includes a gold medal and a cash prize of 250,000,ドル is among the
richest awards for scientific achievement in the world. It was established
in 1988 with a bequest from Henry Bower, a Philadelphia chemical manufacturer
who also endowed an award for business leadership. The Bower Prize has
honored exceptional men and women in science, technology and engineering
for nearly two centuries. For the past 184 years,
The Franklin Institute
has recognized individuals whose great innovation has benefited humanity,
advanced science, launched new fields of inquiry and deepened our
understanding of the universe. The list of Franklin Institute laureates
includes such 19th and 20th century luminaries as Alexander Graham Bell,
Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
