One of the winners of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, George P. Smith, is a veteran supporter of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement (BDS) and a pro-Palestinian activist. The professor emeritus of biological sciences at the University of Missouri in Columbia was named Wednesday as a co-winner of the prestigious award for his efforts in harnessing evolution to produce new enzymes and antibodies. Due to his political views, Smith is a controversial figure on the university campus and a target of pro-Israeli groups.
