Stanford environmentalists have been racking up kudos this week. First, biology Professor GRETCHEN DAILY, a senior fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment, was named one of 10 recipients of the Heinz Award. Then Daily was named one of three recipients of the Midori Prize for Biodiversity. On top of that, TERRY ROOT, also a senior fellow at the Woods Institute, received the Spirit of Defenders Award for Science from the Defenders of Wildlife. Actress and environmental advocate Ashley Judd was slated to present the award to Root at a dinner in Washington, D.C., Wednesday evening.
