href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/nobelprizes\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Nobel prize<\/a> winners have endorsed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/kamala-harris\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Kamala Harris<\/a> for the presidency, warning that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/donaldtrump\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Donald Trump<\/a> would \u201cjeopardize any advancements in our standards of living\u201d given his earlier proposals for enormous cuts to science funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">In an open letter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/24\/science\/kamala-harris-nobel-winners.html\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times<\/a>, 82 Nobel prize winners from the US in the fields of physics, chemistry, economics and medicine, said \u201cthis is the most consequential presidential election in a long time, perhaps ever, for the future of science and the United States\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The letter, which commends Harris for recognizing that \u201cthe enormous increases in living standards and life expectancies over the past two centuries are largely the result of advances in science and technology\u201d, called Trump a potential threat to progress who could \u201cjeopardize any advancements in our standards of living and impede our responses to climate change\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The Nobel laureates range from a physicist involved in the discovery of remnant light from the Big Bang, to an immunologist instrumental in the development of a specific type of Covid-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">They includes signatories who won Nobels <a

month<\/a> such as the molecular biologist Gary Ruvkun, the chemist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2024\/oct\/09\/google-deepmind-scientists-win-nobel-chemistry-prize\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">David Baker<\/a>, the physicist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2024\/oct\/08\/nobel-prize-physics-john-hopfield-geoffrey-hinton-machine-learning\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">John Hopfield<\/a> and the economist Daron Acemoglu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Driven by concerns over the significant cuts to science funding proposed during Trump\u2019s tenure, coupled with what he perceives as the former president\u2019s adversarial stance toward science and academia, Joseph Stiglitz, an economist at Columbia University who won the Nobel memorial prize in economic sciences in 2001, said he was motivated by the \u201cenormous cuts in science budgets\u201d that Trump proposed during his presidency, as well as former president\u2019s \u201canti-science\u201d and \u201canti-university\u201d stances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI hope it\u2019s a wake-up call for people,\u201d Stiglitz told the New York Times about the letter. \u201cA consequence of this election is the really profound impact that his agenda has on science and technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The letter also lauds Harris for her understanding of the invaluable contributions immigrants make to scientific progress on a national and global scale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">On Thursday, in a separate letter <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2024\/10\/23\/politics\/nobel-prize-economists-harris-economic-plan\/index.html\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">obtained by CNN<\/a>, 23 living US recipients of the Nobel prize in economics, have expressed their endorsement of Harris\u2019s economic agenda, deeming it \u201cvastly superior\u201d to the economic strategies proposed by Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cWhile each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we believe that, overall, Harris\u2019s economic agenda will improve our nation\u2019s health, investment, sustainability, resilience, employment opportunities, and fairness and be vastly superior to the counterproductive economic agenda of <a
