April 18th, 2011

Scope, the award-winning blog at the School of Medicine, announced recently that the seven-minute video “Pioneers in Science” was selected as an Official Honoree for the Rich Media: Non-Profit/Educational category in the 15th Annual Webby Awards.

In the video, CARLA SHATZ, the Sapp Family Provostial Professor and Professor of Neurobiology and Director of Bio-X, and and HELEN BLAU, the Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Foundation Professor and Director of the Baxter Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology, describe their lives as pioneering scientists. Both were among the first women to be hired on the tenure track in basic science when they came to Stanford in 1978, Scope says.

The Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, recognizes excellence on the Internet, including websites, interactive advertising, online film and video and mobile and apps.
