Accolades

Beaker won “Honorable Mention” in the Best Blog category of the PR Daily’s Digital PR & Social Media Awards 2012.

In 2010, Beaker received a HAL Medical Blog Award, which noted: “The Beaker blog from Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute provides a seasoned look into many current topics in health and medicine, like obesity research. The institute is dedicated to finding the molecular causes of diseases, and posts on the blog are like a guided tour through their research and work.  Thorough and rigorous while maintaining a sense of good spirit and optimism.”

San Diego’s North County Times says Beaker is worth checking out because it “offers behind-the-scenes look at the science and people of Sanford-Burnham.”
