Ezekiel Emanuel, a member of our very first cohort of Fellows, has been named a 2018 Dan David Prize Laureate. He is the first laureate to be recognized for work in bioethics. 

The Dan David Prize, which has existed for 17 years, awards innovative and interdisciplinary accomplishments and research of individuals across the world. Hosted by Tel Aviv University, it aims to promote "excellence, creativity, justice, democracy and progress and to promote the scientific, technological and humanistic achievements," according to its website. 

The prize has three categories — past, present, and future —, and awards $1 million annually to a winner in each category. Emanuel, who is the first person to earn the prize for work in bioethics, is being recognized in the Present Time Dimension category.

We send Ezekiel our hearty congratulations!
