One of the winners, Vernon L. Smith, is an advocate of federal land privatization. Michigan’s government, which owns 12 percent of the state’s land, could learn from the newest Nobel laureate’s findings. In 1999 Smith co-authored the Cato Institute study, How and Why to Privatize Federal Lands which describes in detail how government ownership results in economic and ecological mismanagement of public lands. The solution, say the authors "is to get the incentives right for both the treasury and the environment" by privatizing federal land holdings.

Privatization: Catch It If You Can Table of Contents FEATURES AROUND THE STATE NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE 'Privatize Federal Lands,' Says Newest Nobel Laureate Posted: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 'Privatize Federal Lands,' Says Newest Nobel Laureate By Mr. Michael LaFaive Vernon L. Smith, shown here, is the 2002 winner of the Nobel prize in economics. A scholar associated with George Mason University, Smith’s research shows the benefits of land privatization, an idea examined by Michigan Privatization Report in past issues. The 2002 Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences (more commonly known as the Nobel prize in economics) was awarded to two American economists on Oct. 9, 2002. One of the winners, Vernon L. Smith, is an advocate of federal land privatization. Michigan's government, which owns 12 percent of the state's land, could learn from the newest Nobel laureate's findings. In 1999 Smith co-authored a Cato Institute study, “How and Why to Privatize Federal Lands,” which describes in detail how government ownership results in economic and ecological mismanagement of public lands. The solution, say the authors “is to get the incentives right for both the treasury and the environment” by privatizing federal land holdings. Former Mackinac Center for Public Policy researcher and author Peter T. Leeson wrote a related article also in 1999 for Michigan Privatization Report, the nation's largest quarterly privatization journal. The article, “Land Ho! Should Government Be Lanlord?” described the extent of state landholdings and concluded that the state should sell off some of its property.

Dr. Michael Smith, Nobel Laureate (Chemistry, 1993) and Peter Wall Distinguished Professor of Biotechnology, at the University of British Columbia, will be the first director of the Genome Sequence Centre. "This unique effort will help Canada make significant contributions to international science in general and to cancer treatment in particular," says Dr. Michael Smith. "A genome sequence centre in B.C. will attract activity in the biomedical research sector and in industries. It will encourage companies to work here and take advantage of the technology and information that will be developed." Genome science, or genomics, identifies and decodes all the genes of a living organism. Genome refers to the full complement of genes in an organism. At the heart of this science is DNA, or gene sequencing. Genes are made of DNA, which provide the instructions for our physical growth and development. It is a relatively new field for science and research, with tremendous potential for discovery, innovation and breakthrough for science, medicine and technology.

IDEAS: Nobel Prize winners 22-21 February 1996 A dozen Nobel Prize scientists are in Toronto to give talks about how and why they do science, and what the consequences are. We hear James Watson , co-discoverer of the double helix structure of DNA, on the Human Genome Project. UBC's Michael Smith developed a genetic technique that can do in a test-tube what evolution has been doing for millions of years. Max Perutz discovered the structure of hemoglobin. George Porter says that genetic engineers will breed plants that can meet all the energy needs on earth. and Christian de Duve says that the universe must be full of life, even if we haven't seen it yet.

Consumer Reports Another Nobel laureate Here's what I said in last year's November column: "George Mason University economists are leaders in economic thinking. They include scholars such as Nobel Laureate James Buchanan, who along with his colleague Gordon Tullock, pioneered the field in economics known as public choice. ... Toward the end of my tenure as department chairman, we acquired all seven members of the University of Arizona's distinguished Economic Science Laboratory. Professor Vernon Smith, its director, is widely mentioned as a likely prospect for the Nobel Prize in economics for his path-breaking work in the field of experimental economics. Along with Professor Gordon Tullock, also mentioned as a likely prospect for the Nobel Prize in Economics, it is not inconceivable that George Mason University's Economics Department will not only rank No. 1 in the South but will be home to every single Nobel Laureate in the South." Last week, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded Vernon Smith, jointly with Princeton Professor Daniel Kahneman, the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Smith won the Nobel Prize "for having established laboratory experiments as a tool in empirical economic analysis, especially in the study of alternative market mechanisms."

NIH Nobel Prize Winners 1968Dr. Marshall W. Nirenberg, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering the key to deciphering the genetic code. Dr. Nirenberg and two other researchers, working independently, with whom he shared the prize, made major advances in understanding the chemical mechanisms by which genetic language or information is translated into various proteins that determine the nature and characteristics of all living things. Dr. Nirenberg was the first NIH Nobelist and also the first Federal employee to receive a Nobel Prize. 1970Dr. Julius Axelrod, National Institute of Mental Healthshared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two scientists from England and Swedenfor independent research into the chemistry of nerve transmission. The three were cited for their “discoveries concerning the humoral transmitters in the nerve terminals and the mechanisms for their storage, release and inactivation.” Specifically, Dr. Axelrod found an enzyme that terminates the action of the nerve transmitter, noradrenaline. He also demonstrated that some antidepressant drugs act by preventing the reuptake of noradrenaline and thus prolong its action in the brain. 1972Dr. Christian B. Anfinsen
