About the Molecular Frontiers Foundation
The Molecular Frontiers Foundation is a global think tank that seeks to promote the understanding and appreciation of molecular science in society. Its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) consists of 7 Nobel Prize laureates as well as 19 distinguished scientists from various parts of the world. The Molecular Frontiers Foundation also focuses on engaging young people to pursue scientific enquiry and has recently incepted the Molecular Frontiers Inquiry Prize the best scientific question posed by youths. Entries can be made for the prize on MoleClues, www.moleclues.org, the Molecular Frontiers Foundation interactive website for young people. The Foundation was founded by Prof. Bengt Nordén, who is also the Chair of the Selection Committee of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For information about the Molecular Frontiers
