A UC Davis<\/b> stem cell researcher-blogger has announced a “stem cell person of the year” award
complete with a $1,000 cash prize that he is putting up himself.<\/p>

<\/div>
Paul Knoepfler<\/b>, who may be the only
stem cell scientist in the U.S. actively blogging on the subject,
said he has decided to put his money where his mouth is. <\/div>
<\/div>
Since announcing the contest in a Nov.13 blog item<\/a>, Knoepfler has already received eight nominations,
including one for a scientist. Three days after the item aappeared, UC Davis
featured Knoepfler in a press release <\/a>that included a video of
Knoepfler explaining the effort.<\/div>

He said he wanted to go beyond “old
fashioned awards” given by “stodgy committees.” Knoepfler said he
is seeking to recognize that stem cell research is “transcending the
lab.”<\/p><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>
The goal of the award, Knoepfler said,
is “to advance the stem cell field and give credit to those who
make a real difference.”<\/div>
<\/div>
Knoepfler wrote,<\/div>

“The criteria are that the person
made a truly outstanding difference in the stem cell field for 2012.
The winner could be a scientist, a patient advocate, someone in
industry, a student, a physician…really anyone who has made the
field better. For non-scientist nominees I’m particularly
interested in those who took personal risks or gave of themselves to
help others. For scientists I am looking for outstanding scientific
achievement and in particular out-of-the-box thinking. Folks in any
country are eligible.”<\/p><\/blockquote>

Deadline for nominations is Dec. 17.
Self-nominations are permissible. Knoepfler plans to pick five
finalists and interview them by phone. He also plans an online vote
that he said  “may” influence his decision.<\/div>
<\/div>
Complete details are available on Knoepfler's blog<\/a>. <\/div>
