Extractions: January 30, 1998 Chemist, Shoah survivor nets Wolf Prize LESLIE KATZ Bulletin Staff A U.C. Berkeley professor who was saved from the Nazis by Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg has been named a recipient of Israel's 1998 Wolf Foundation Prize in chemistry. The Wolf Prize, Israel's most prestigious award, is given each year for achievements in science and art. In the prize's 20-year existence, 17 recipients have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. "I am absolutely delighted," said Gabor Somorjai, who will accept the prize in a Knesset ceremony in May. "It's a very great honor." Somorjai, 62, got wind of the news Tuesday morning when a former postdoctoral student now teaching in Israel called to congratulate him. "It was clear it was known in Israel and Europe before it was known in the U.S.," said the Hungarian-born professor, who got official word of the award by fax later on in the day. Somorjai shares his $100,000 award with Professor Gerhard Ertl of the Fritz-Haber Institute in Berlin. The pair has been cited for contributions to the field of surface science. A U.C. Berkeley professor since 1964, Samorjai studies inorganic surfaces such as iron and platinum and explores how certain catalysts can be used on those surfaces to generate useful reactions. For example, the professor has examined certain catalyst-surface combinations that help sustain clean air and water, and produce high-octane gasoline.

Extractions: With University of Tokyo Scientist For Research on Neutrinos UPTON, NY - Raymond Davis Jr., whose career as a chemist spans 52 years at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, will share the 2000 Wolf Prize in Physics with Masatoshi Koshiba, University of Tokyo, Japan. The Wolf Foundation has recognized the scientists "for their pioneering observations of astronomical phenomena by detection of neutrinos, which created the emerging field of neutrino astronomy." The $100,000 prize, to be shared by the two scientists, will be conferred by the President of Israel, Ezer Weizman, at a special ceremony in Jerusalem on May 21. Davis was notified that he won the Wolf Prize while he was in Russia to receive the 1999 Bruno Pontecorvo Prize. Issued by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, the $1,000 Pontecorvo Prize was awarded to Davis "for the outstanding achievement in development of the chlorine-argon method for detection of solar neutrinos." This method was invented by Pontecorvo and Davis further developed it. "I have been interested in studying neutrinos since 1948, when I first read about them in a review article by H.R. Crane, a physicist at the University of Michigan," Davis said. "Back then, it was a brand new field of study. It has captivated me for more than half a century."
Tikun Olam-תק×× ×¢×××: Make The World A Better Place: Dan December 17, 2003. Daniel Barenboim Wins Israel s wolf prize OverObjections from Israeli Rightists. The Israeli rightwing never http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2003/12/daniel_barenboi.html
Extractions: hostName = '.richardsilverstein.com'; Main The Israeli right-wing never loses an opportunity to politicize the Holocaust for political advantage. Now, they're adding the world of music to those hijacked in the name of the Holocaust. As Haaretz tells the story in Barenboim: It's Time for Israel to Learn What Democracy Means The affair began in July 2001, when the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Barenboim, played excepts from Tristan and Isolde by Richard Wagner, as an encore during an Israel Festival concert, and after President Moshe Katsav, then-Jerusalem mayor Ehud Olmert, and then-cultural affairs minister Matan Vilnai, among others, asked him not to conduct Wagner, because of the composer's anti-Semitism and Nazi identification with him. Barenboim "broke his promise" because he believed that despite the delicacy and controversy surrounding the performance of Wagner before an Israeli audience that would undoubtedly include Holocaust survivors, that depriving the entire nation of one of the world's great composers was an act of musical narrowness and provincialism. Many in the Israeli musical world feel that the performance of Wagner in Israel was long overdue and that Barenboim did Israeli music and the nation a service.

Mail Rochester alumnus will share the 2000 Wolf Prize in physicsa prize second only to the Nobel Prize in prestigefor his discovery of the mass of the neutrino, a fundamental particle that has ramifications for the understanding of fusion and the birth of the universe. Masatoshi Koshiba, who earned his doctorate from the University in 1955, will accept the prize from the president of Israel on Sunday, May 21. Nearly half of all previous winners of the Wolf Prize have subsequently won the Nobel. "This is a great honor to have one of our alumni recognized this way," said Arie Bodek, chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. "His work lays a cornerstone of physics for the next century." The $100,000 prize will go to Koshiba, professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo, and Raymond Davis, Jr., of the University of Pennsylvania, who collaborated on the discovery. In 1967, Davis built the first experiment to detect neutrinos produced by the sun, and Koshiba recently built a much larger detector in Japan that showed that neutrinos have mass. The findings were announced in 1998 to great excitement in the scientific community.
