PRESS RELEASE: Bioinformatics.Org is seeking nominations for the 2006 Benjamin Franklin Award Submitted by J.W. Bizzaro; posted on Thursday, October 27, 2005 The Bioinformatics Organization, Inc. (a.k.a. Bioinformatics.Org) is seeking nominations for the 2006 Benjamin Franklin Award in Bioinformatics. This will be the fifth presentation of the bioinformatics humanitarian award, which is given annually by the members of the Organization to an individual who has worked to promote open access to the materials and methods used in the field. The Award is named for Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), one of the most remarkable men of his time. Scientist, inventor, statesman, Franklin freely and openly shared his ideas and refused to patent his inventions. It is the opinion of the founders of Bioinformatics.Org that he embodied the best traits of a scientist, and we seek to honor those who share these virtues. The ceremony for the presentation of the Award will be held during the Sixth Annual Meeting of Bioinformatics.Org, in conjunction with Bio-IT World's 2006 Life Sciences Conference + Expo in Boston, on April 3-5, 2006. It involves a short introduction, the presentation of the certificate, and the laureate seminar. Please see http://www.lifesciencesexpo.com/ for more information on the event. Past laureates include Ewan Birney, Lincoln Stein, James Kent, and Michael Eisen. Nominations can be made by any member of the Bioinformatics Organization, and membership is free. Any individual who receives more than one nomination is considered a nominee and will have their name placed on the ballot for final selection by the membership. More information can be found at http://bioinformatics.org/franklin/.
