I would love this. In conversations I’ve had - it does seem to be getting consideration (and this is the first year that I’ve been aware of this). Part of the reason was the Stockholm Symposium earlier in the year that led to the Stockholm Declaration. If not this year, maybe next year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

As in every year since 2013, I published my guess who will get the #nobelprize in #chemistry, to be announced next week.

This year I deviate from all other polls and predictions out there:
John Warner and Paul Anastas for formulating the concepts of Green Chemistry.
