		It's telling, argued Nobel prize winner Ahmed Zewail at a press conference held at the American University in Cairo (AUC) last week to announce the establishment of a prize in his name, that while Egypt is trying to eliminate illiteracy, the United States is fighting the same battle against computer illiteracy.
		Zewail is currently writing an article for Nature magazine called "Science for the have nots," in which he tries to explain why building a solid scientific base is so important for developing nations.
		The new Ahmed Zewail prize, awarded for the first time this week at AUC's commencement, is an attempt to provide an incentive for students to pursue excellence in science.

		Ahmed Zewail Gr’74 Hon’97, a scientist at the California Institute of Technology, accepted the Nobel Prize for chemistry last month for his pioneering research in femtochemistry—a field that has emerged from the use of ultrafast lasers to observe chemical reactions as they actually happen.
		In the 1980s, the Egyptian-born Zewail and his colleagues developed a way of taking split-second snapshots of the once-invisible intermediate stages in a chemical reaction by firing two pulses of laser light in quick succession.
		In the words of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awarded the Nobel, Zewail’s contributions "have brought about a revolution in chemistry and the adjacent sciences." His laser technique is now used by chemists worldwide.
