National Science Foundation Alan T. Waterman Award
Congress established the Alan T. Waterman Award in August 1975 to mark the 25th Anniversary of the National Science Foundation and to honor its first director. The annual award recognizes an outstanding young researcher in any field of science or engineering supported by the National Science Foundation, or NSF. In addition to a medal, the awardee receives a grant of $1,000,000 over a five-year period for scientific research or advanced study in the mathematical, physical, biological, engineering, social, or other sciences at the institution of the recipient's choice. NSF seeks excellent and diverse nominations. Nominations for the 2022 Alan T Waterman Award are accepted from July 19 to September 20, 2021. Nominations must be submitted through the NSF Fastlane system.
NSF encourages potential nominators to review Tips for Submitting a Strong Nomination. The tips were created by the 2020 Alan T. Waterman Awards Review Committee to support nominators and letter writers in their efforts to expertly showcase the talents and expertise of nominees. NSF does not limit the number of nominees a university can put forward.

When a team of Chinese scientists beamed entangled photons from the nation’s Micius satellite to conduct the world’s first quantum-secured video call in 2017, experts declared that China had taken the lead in quantum communications. New research suggests that lead has extended to quantum computing as well. scientificamerican.com
With the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, world leaders pledged to end poverty and hunger, protect biodiversity and the climate, and get all children into schools by 2030. How have researchers and funders responded? Has there been a shift in research priorities? nature.com
Drop by drop, magnetism is entering a new phase — one that may point the way to liquid, morphing robotics and other fluid technologies that can do what their solid, static counterparts cannot. news.unl.edu
The development of an ultrathin magnet that operates at room temperature could lead to new applications in computing and electronics – such as high-density, compact spintronic memory devices – and new tools for the study of quantum physics. newscenter.lbl.gov
A form of gene therapy protects optic nerve cells and preserves vision in mouse models of glaucoma, according to research supported by NIH’s National Eye Institute. The findings suggest a way forward for developing neuroprotective therapies for glaucoma, a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness. The report was published in Cell. nih.gov
Last week, a 100-pound fish shaped like a manhole cover and festooned in silver and coral-orange scales washed up on a beach in Seaside, Oregon. The exotic-looking denizen of the deep is called an opah or moonfish and is seldom observed so far north, according to the local Seaside Aquarium, which was alerted to the washed-up sea creature by beachgoers. smithsonianmag.com
