MONTGOMERY, Ala./EWORLDWIRE/Jan. 4, 2006 --- Dr. Andrei Aleinikov, known as, "The Most Creative Man in the World," for his discovery of MegaCreativity, received an unexpected Medal for Outstanding Achievements from the Russian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Aleinikov is internationally recognized by the educational community (Singapore, Thailand, South Africa, Pakistan) and has been published in 13 countries. His latest educational award, the George Washington Honor Medal, made the front pages of several newspapers. This award is the top American national award in the teacher/administrator category from the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge, Pa.
However, many people do not realize that behind the success of his Genius Education Methodology (GEM, labeled "the GEM of education" by the media), there lies a breakthrough work in science (Breakthrough Magazine, May 2005). His selection as a recipient of a Medal for Outstanding Achievements from the Russian Academy of Sciences places Dr. Aleinikov in an elite group which includes personalities like Michael Gorbachev and Vladimir Putin.
In addition to numerous new theories, models and measuring units, Dr. Aleinikov's major contribution is the establishment of four new sciences:
-CreatoLinguistics: the study of creative aspects of language (1988)
-Novology: the science of newness (1991)
-Geniusology: the science of genius (2003)
-Organizology: the science of organization (2003)
This in itself is an outstanding accomplishment because in the history of science only Hermann Helmholtz is attributed with the creation of three new sciences.
In 2003 Dr. Aleinikov became the only American simultaneously nominated for the two highest national honors, both in science and education: The President's National Medal of Science (NSF) and the U.S. Professor of the Year Award (CASE).
