"Today, we're delighted to host 2024 U.S. Nobel Laureates at the White House. One of the defining characteristics of being human is our thirst for understanding our world and all its complexities. At scales from cells to civilizations, each of these researchers has moved the boundaries of knowledge and opened new vistas. Their work laid foundations for diagnostics and therapies to improve health, for harnessing artificial intelligence to achieve unimagined breakthroughs, and for changing lives around the world by cultivating democracy.
"America must remain what President Biden calls 'the land of possibilities.' In breaking through the limitations of the past, this year's Nobel Laureates have changed what is possible for the future."
