Stanford University

Stanford freshman Liza Goldberg started creating Cloud to Classroom when she was just 14 years old and working at NASA. The educational program uses satellite imagery to make the science of global climate and environmental change simpler and more accessible.

Researchers at Stanford are working to develop a single-dose vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 that could potentially be stored at room temperature.

A new device can continuously sense levels of virtually any protein or molecule in the blood. Researchers say it could be transformative for disease detection, patient monitoring and biomedical research.

In response to COVID-19, Stanford seniors Margot Bellon and Isabel Wang founded a charitable organization that provides refurbished computers to students affected by homelessness.

Over the course of a turbulent year, the Stanford community found new ways to come together for learning and work, while advancing research to address problems posed by the pandemic.

Under the right conditions, a diverse soccer team can pull off the ultimate hat trick: It can reduce prejudice, build trust and increase tolerance among players from opposing sides of a conflict.

"We're enthusiastic about what we do. We like it. And it's exciting. It's a great life to be able to live this way." -Robert Wilson and Paul Milgrom, winners of the 2020 #NobelPrize in economic sciences for their path-breaking discoveries in auction theory

The scene at Paul Milgrom’s front door, 2:15 a.m. The unexpected visitor is Milgrom’s former advisor, longtime colleague and neighbor Robert Wilson, who walked across the street in slippers to deliver the news the two Stanford professors had won the #NobelPrize in economic sciences. (Milgrom’s wife, who’s in Sweden, also received a doorbell alert and was watching the security camera footage in real time.) Wilson himself had been hard for the Nobel committee to reach in the mi...ddle of the night, unplugging his landline after his phone rang with what he assumed was spam. : https://stanford.io/2GK74QW

Congratulations to Professors Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson, winners of the 2020 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for improvements to auction theory and inventions of new auction formats. #NobelPrize https://stanford.io/34JCXRu

"This award ... confirms for me that our personal backgrounds and journeys are assets we do well to embrace in our work, rather than liabilities that we should hide." -Stanford sociologist and 2020 #MacFellow Forrest Stuart : https://stanford.io/2SJDsoZ : MacArthur Foundation

In 2019, the Stanford History Education Group released the most extensive study to date on how young people go about trying to verify a claim on social media or the internet, based on research with more than 3,000 high school students matching the demographic profile of students across the United States. In the study, more than half of students believed that a grainy video on Facebook of ballot stuffing provided strong evidence of voter fraud during the 2016 U.S. primaries, even though the clips were actually shot in Russia. More than 96 percent failed to recognize that a climate change denial group was connected to the fossil fuel industry. https://stanford.io/2SJlFOR
