With an $18.7 billion endowment Stanford has access to
numerous world-class research resources.
The school’s 1,189 acre Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve
lets scientists study ecosystems first hand. Its 150-foot radio telescope,
nicknamed “The Dish,” studies the ionosphere.
Stanford also boasts a 315-acre habitat reserve which is
actively trying to bring back the endangered California tiger salamander. And
the SLAC Accelerator Laboratory actively advances the U.S. Department of
Energy’s research.Stanford is also affiliated with the prestigious Hoover
Institution, which is one of the nation’s leading social, political, and
economic think tanks.
But it takes more than just great laboratories and
facilities to build a great research center. Stanford also has some of the
finest minds in the world working for it. The school’s faculty currently
include 22 Nobel Laureates, 51 members of the American Philosophical Society,
three Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients, 158 National Academy of Science
members, five Pulitzer Prize winners, and 27 MacArthur Fellows.
