October 4, 1971, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. Paul M. Nurse (b. 1949), Leland
H. Hartwell and R. Timothy Hunt were awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in
Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries of key regulators of the cell
cycle." Nurse, then at the Imperial Cancer Fund, London, had identified, cloned
and characterized CDK (cyclin dependent kinase), one of the key
regulators of the cell cycle. In 2006 Nurse, now President of the
Rockefeller Foundation, made headlines with a warning that the United States was
in danger of falling behind in scientific research. He identified threats to
U.S. research efforts, including decreased funding, poor science education,
obstacles to recruiting foreign scientists and politically motivated attacks on
science. Slightly rippled. Fine condition.
