Nominate your favorite scientist: ScienceDirect’s For Great Thinking initiative seeks to honor the people who are shaping science
“the opportunity to honor the people who are making extraordinary contributions to science and who have inspired others through their work.”
Nominations should be submitted by August 22, and people can nominate more than one scientist. Categories are Arts and Humanities, Life Sciences and Biomedicine, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Engineering and Information Technology. To be eligible, nominees should:
- Be living
- Work in the academic world and be published
- Be known for the rigor of their research
- Produce highly original work
- Demonstrate an international perspective
- Make an impact – socially or scientifically
- Inspire others (the mentoring or “guru factor”)
In September, a voting campaign on the website will determine the winner in each category. Winners will each receive an exclusively commissioned portrait by an artist and have their stories told to audiences around the world.
