		The Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, sometimes refered to as the Nobel prize in economics, was not a part of Nobel's will.
		The prizes for physics and chemistry shall be awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiological or medical works by the Caroline Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm; and that for champions of peace by a committee of five persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting.
		At the time, mathematics was not considered a practical science from which humanity could benefit (a key purpose for the Nobel Foundation), and there was already a well known Scandinavian prize for mathematicians.

		As you know, under his leadership this distinguished Academy was amongst the first to alert the world to the risks we face from the growing pressures on the Earth's resources and life support systems resulting from escalating human numbers and activities.
		Science has taught us that environment and development issues are global in scale and systemic in nature and, if we are to remain within safe limits, we must manage the changes that are shaping our future.
		In my long experience with science, I have noted with concern that despite the growing international dimensions of virtually all of the activities that bear on sustainable development, there is still a great deal of parochialism amongst some of the important actors in respect of these issues in the scientific, technological and educational communities.

		The Institute for Solar Physics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announces that its new solar telescope on the island of La Palma, Spain, will have first light on Saturday March 2, 2002.
		The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is perhaps best known for the Nobel prize, but also operates seven scientific institutes (in Sweden and on La Palma).
		Because the Swedish telescope allows either direct use of the singlet lens to form an image or lets the light pass through a corrector of the Schupmann type, it cannot be described completely as a Schupmann telescope.

		Columbia University Professor Joseph Stiglitz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics on Wednesday (10-10-01) by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
		The Academy noted that Stiglitz "clarified the opposite type of market adjustment, where poorly informed agents extract information from the better informed, such as the screening performed by insurance companies dividing customers into risk classes by offering a menu of contracts where higher deductibles can be exchanged for significantly lower premiums.
		Stiglitz, who thanked the National Science Foundation for supporting much of his research and the research universities where he has conducted his scholarship, noted that the September terrorist attacks tempered the joy he felt about winning the prize.
