Fred Kavli to introduce prestigious science awards at DC climate conference

Abstract:
On October 22, Fred Kavli, a Norwegian-born philanthropist, will introduce three new science prizes worth $1 million each at a science conference in Washington, DC. The Kavli Prizes are currently accepting nominations for their first ever awards in 2008 in astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience.

"The Kavli Prizes honor scientists exploring the biggest, smallest and the most complex scientific frontiers in the 21st century," said Kavli.

Kavli will speak on the opening day of Climate Action, an October 22 through 24 scientific conference held at the Carnegie Institution at 1530 P Street NW, Washington, D.C.
