The department congratulates Professor William "Bill" Newman on being awarded the 2026 International Franklin-Lavoisier Prize. The prize is given each year by the Science History Institute Museum and Library for "outstanding achievements and meritorious efforts that promote and advance the history and heritage of the chemical sciences and technology. The Franklin-Lavoisier Prize was established in 2007 by the late Bernard Bigot who served as president of the Fondation de la Maison de la Chimie, the Paris-based 'international house of chemistry' and cosponsor of the award. Presented alternately in the United States and France every other year, this international prize is awarded to individuals and organizations from around the world that have contributed to and continue to create original and innovative work that opens new areas and perspectives in the preservation, interpretation, and sharing of our collective chemical heritage."
