Time Magazine did a round-up of how Nobel winners have spent their prize money and I was happy to notice two of them put their winnings towards advancing women in science. Neuroscientist Paul Greengard created the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize with his $400,000 share of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Named after his mother, the prize is awarded every year to a female biomedical researcher. It is presented by a woman who has distinguished herself in law, politics, the arts or the sciences. 2008 winners Elizabeth H. Blackburn and Carol W. Greider, were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine this year along with Jack W. Szostak. Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, winner in the same Nobel category in 1995, established a foundation that provides female scientists in Germany with funds for childcare and other practical household needs.
