Among the recipients of the awards in the past are some who later won the Nobel Prize
The prestigious Harvey Award was given last night at the Technion to Professor David Eisenberg - an expert in the nervous system and to Dr. Charles Bennett, an expert in quantum computing
Professor Eisenberg from the Institute of Molecular Biology and head of the Institute for Genomics and Proteins at the University of California, received the award in the field of human health. He is one of the world's leading researchers in the field of structural biology and one of his outstanding achievements is determining the structure of amyloid fibers. In view of the involvement of amyloid layers in a number of diseases, especially in degenerative diseases of the nervous system - understanding the structure of amyloid is a central task of structural biology in the medical context.
Dr. Bennett from the IBM research laboratories in New York, received the award in the field of science and technology. He played a central role in the foundation and promotion of the research branches in the fields of quantum information and quantum computation. These fields yielded new ways of understanding the basic quantum phenomenon and linking physics to various fields in computer science. Dr. Charles Bennett's main contributions in physics, especially in quantum mechanics and the physics of information, have profound implications both for basic science and for the future revolution in computing technology and cryptography (encryption theory).
The Harvey Award was first given in 1972, from the foundation established by Leo M. The late Harvey of Los Angeles, in order to recognize great contributions to the advancement of humanity in the fields of science and technology, human health and the promotion of peace in the Middle East. From its fruits, prizes worth $75,000 are awarded each year to each winner.
Among the winners of the prestigious Harvey Prize are scientists from the USA, Great Britain, Russia, Sweden, France, and Israel, including Nobel Prize winner Mikhail Gorbachev, former leader of the USSR, who was awarded the prize for his activities to reduce regional tensions; Professor Brett Sackman who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, Professor Pierre Gilles Dan-Gen, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics, Professor Edward Teller for his discoveries in solid state, atomic and nuclear physics and Professor William J. Kopf on the invention of the artificial kidney.
Nominations for the Harvey Prize are received from leading scientists and personalities in Israel and the world. The recipients of the award are selected by the Harvey Award committee through a strict process, at the Technion.

1- Talent is very helpful but it is not the main thing and certainly not enough for me to succeed.
2- There is more than one "talented person".
And as usual, the same (talented) people get awards again and again, while their slightly less talented colleagues get nothing.
This phenomenon starts already at the bachelor's degree stage, the reach get reacher, in the academy version.
Their place.
