Winthrop-Sears Medal

Sol J. Barer with the Winthrop-Sears Medal, 2006

The Winthrop-Sears Medal is awarded annually by The Chemists' Club of New York in conjunction with the Chemical Heritage Foundation to recognize entrepreneurial achievement in the chemical industry for the betterment of humanity.[1]

The medal is named in honor of two of America’s earliest chemical entrepreneurs, John Winthrop, Jr., son of the first Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and considered the first chemist in America, and John Sears, creator of the Massachusetts salt industry.

The award was established in 1970 and has been awarded in conjunction with the Chemical Heritage Foundation since 2003.
