Martin Chalfie, the Professor at Columbia University born in Chicago, said the first thing he did after finding out he was a 2008 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry was to pledge his glowing support for Democrat Barack Obama for US president.
Sixty-one Nobel prize winners last month signed an open letter stating their support for the Illinois senator in Chicago, and Martin said he wanted to join that list.
In their letter, the Nobel winners said America "urgently needs a visionary leader who can ensure the future of our traditional strengths in science and technology and who can harness those strengths to address many of our greatest problems: energy, disease, climate change, security, and economic competitiveness."
"We are convinced that Senator Barack Obama is such a leader," they said.
