This challenge fostered a multitude of innovative ideas, and we could not be happier to support this endeavor. By addressing critical undernutrition at home and with women, the Solvers have played a vital role in the health of mothers, their children, and future generations.

Blavatnik National Awards Scientific Advisory Council

There are a few awards for young scientists, but almost all of them are based on proposals that you submit, and not on the actual work that you do as a young scientist. The Blavatnik Awards is true recognition of the work of young scientists; it is unique in that sense. There is no equivalent.

I do more than support them, I have an annuity—I made the Academy a beneficiary…There are a lot of places that need your money, but the Academy should be at the top of your list. Why? Because there aren't a lot of places that are thinking all the time, where there aren't political agendas, religious agendas, etc. And they bring people together around science.
