"The Einstein Foundation Award … is not just recognizing those who fight disease or protect the planet—but importantly, those who elevate the field of research itself. Because with stronger methods, greater rigor, and more transparency, we will bring future breakthroughs even closer."

Melinda French Gates, 2021
