K          “A prize dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the work of someone who or some organization that contributes to the advancement of medicine and public health.  Someone who adheres to the phrase ‘first, do no harm’ and if possible ‘second, do good’ for the public.  This is your pick.”

J          “Rosalind Elsie Franklin.  Recipients do not need to be living.  Their work lives on.  Their name should live on.”
