To be published in Science is a special moment for any scientist. But to do so at
the very start of your career is extremely exciting indeed. If you are a recent PhD
graduate you could be published in Science this December, and receive a very
special prize in Stockholm during the week of Nobel.
Te journal Science & SciLifeLab have established Te Science & SciLifeLab Prize forYoung Scientists, to recognize and reward excellence in PhD research and support youngscientists at the start of their careers. It’s about bright minds, bright ideas and bright futures.
Four winners will be selected for this international award.Tey will have their essays publishedby the journal Science and share a new total of 60,000 USD in prize money. Te winnerswill be awarded in Stockholm during the second week of December when the city isalive with excitement and celebrates the new Nobel Laureates at the annual Nobel Prizeceremony. Tey will take part in a truly unique week of events including meeting leadingscientists in their felds.
“Te last couple of days have been exhilarating. It has been an experience of a lifetime.Stockholm is a wonderful city and the Award winning ceremony exceeds my wildest dreams.”–Dr. Dan Dominissini, 2014 Prize Winner
Who knows, having your work published in the journal Science could be a major steppingstone in your career and and the Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists makesthis possible.
Te 2015 Prize is now open. Te deadline for submissions is August 1, 2015.Enter today: www.sciencemag.org/scilifelabprize
Te 2015 Prize categories are:
• Cell and Molecular Biology
• Ecology and Environment
• Genomics and Proteomics
• Translational Medicine
Tis prize is made possible with thekind support of the Knut and AliceWallenberg Foundation.Tis Founda-tion grants funding in two main areas;research projects of high scientifc poten-tial and individual support of excellentscientists.

Cathode Gauge
The Granville-Phillips Series 500 Cold
Cathode Gauge sets a new accuracy
standard (±10%) for wide pressure range
CC gauges. The Series 500 features
a longer lifetime than traditional CC
gauges and fast, reliable starting. Its
patent-pending method for determin-
ing pressure dosage over time provides
for predictive maintenance, and USB
connectivity assures ease of setup and
pressure monitoring. The Series 500ís
unprecedented accuracy is based on
innovative technology and time-tested
�������������������������� ����������
measurement range from 10-10 to 10-2
Torr, and includes electronic, digital, and
analog interfaces. The USB interface and
GP Connect software provides setup and
diagnostics, including screens for set-
ting up the gauge, graphing the pressure
trend, and checking usage statistics.
Applications include R&D, coating, semi-
conductor, analytical, high-energy phys-
ics, general vacuum, and other applica-
tions requiring long life and accuracy.

the PTR-TOF trace gas analyzer series.
Both instruments can be optionally
equipped with the new fast GC add-on,
combining Gas Chromatographic separa-
tion with real-time trace VOC analysis.
Featuring a Quadrupole ion guide (Qi), the
new PTR-QiTOF achieves a performance,
no other commercial PTR-TOFMS system
has ever been able to demonstrate before.
Scientists can expect up to 25x more
sensitivity, one order of magnitude lower
