Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.

Advocates joined us at the State House for March of Dimes Advocacy Day to support maternal + infant health. With the largest measles outbreak in TX since 2000, the need for strong advocacy + access to care is more urgent than ever. 💪🏽🩷
