First Annual Golden Goose Awards to go to Scientists for Their Work on Glowing Jellyfish, Radiation Waves, and Tropical Coral

Eight scientists, including four Nobel Prize winners, will be honored today with the first annual Golden Goose Awards, celebrating researchers whose seemingly odd or obscure federally funded research turned out to have a significant impact on society. The awardees will be honored at a ceremony on Capitol Hill, where they will receive their awards from a bipartisan group of Members of Congress.
