© 2013 Wiley Periodicals, I Eiji Yashima, Professor at Nagoya University, Japan, has won the 2013 Chirality Medal, in a stiff competition among a large field of excellent candidates. Professor Yashima receives the honor for his outstanding achievements in chirality and polymer stereochemistry—in particular, the developments of novel singleand double-stranded helical oligomers and polymers with specific functions and a unique method to visualize the helicity of polymers at the single-molecule level. Professor Yashima has made seminal contributions to our understanding of the importance of helicity of polymers and oligomers for their functions, which include chirality sensing,
