    Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was 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 the Bioinformatics Organization, Inc. that he embodied the best traits of a scientist, and we seek to honor those who share these virtues.

    The ``Benjamin Franklin Award in Bioinformatics'' is a humanitarian award presented annually by this organization to an individual who has, in his or her practice, promoted free and open access to the methods and materials used in the scientific field of bioinformatics.

    Past laureates include Lincoln Stein (2004), Jim Kent (2003) and Michael Eisen (2002).

    Nominations may be made online by registered members of Bioinformatics.Org. The deadline is Dec. 1.
