The Stibitz-Wilson Awards: A Celebration of Excellence
Since 1997, the Stibitz-Wilson Awards have recognized insightful men and women whose work has powerfully impacted modern life.
The Stibitz-Wilson Awards are named for inventor George Stibitz, whose work at Bell Labs in the 1930s helped set the stage for modern digital computing, and for biologist Edward O. Wilson, who made landmark contributions to our understanding of the complex web of life on Earth.
