Award for
Barry M. Trost

We would like to congratulate Barry M. Trost, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on being awarded the Nagoya Gold Medal Prize of Organic Chemistry 2008. The Nagoya Medal Prize (Gold Medal) has been awarded every year since 1995 to an organic chemist who has made significant original contributions to the field, in its broadest sense. The recipient of the Gold Medal 2008, Barry M. Trost, will deliver the Nagoya Medal Award Lecture on October 31, 2008 at Nagoya University in Nagoya, Japan. The Gold Medal Award Lecture is entitled:
1 "Self Assembly of Dinuclear Main Group Catalysts for Asymmetric Synthesis"
2 "Cycloadditions via TMM-Pd Intermediates: New Strategies for Total Synthesis and Asymmetric Induction"

Award for
Eric N. Jacobsen

We would like to congratulate Eric N. Jacobsen, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on being awarded the Yamada–Koga Prize 2008 which is awarded every year to a scientist whose research has a major impact in the fields of the synthesis of optically active compounds. The Yamada–Koga Prize will be awarded to Professor Eric N. Jacobsen on November 14, 2008, at the 18th Symposium on Optically Active Compounds held in Tokyo, Japan.

Awards for
Steven V. Ley

We would like to congratulate Steven V. Ley, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on receiving the Prous Institute-Overton and Meyer Award for New Technologies in Drug Discovery, European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry, Vienna (2008) and the Hans Heroff Inhoffen Medal, Helmholtz Zentrum für Infectionsforschung (2008).

Professor
John Colin Tatlow
(1923–2008)

We are very sorry to announce that Professor John Colin Tatlow passed away in the UK on April 9th, 2008. Professor Tatlow was the Editor-in-Chief of the E10 Organo-Fluorine Compounds (Houben–Weyl) series and made a major contribution to fluorine chemistry during his career. He was the recipient of the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry in 1990. We would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
