April 15, 2009 / Posted by: Daniella Scalice

The NASA Astrobiology Program website has been selected as an Official Honoree of the 13th annual Webby Awards! The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences presents Webby Awards and names Official Webby Honorees in 70 categories spanning art, health, music, and science. Of nearly 10,000 entries to the competition, fewer than 15% were selected as honorees, and the NASA Astrobiology Program website shares this year’s distinction in the category of Website/Science with ten other websites including the likes of Seed Magazine, the California Academy of Sciences, and Discovery Earth Live. The NASA Astrobiology Program website, launched in March 2008, was created by the NAI Central IT team for NASA Headquarters. Kudos to the development team, including Shige Abe, Marco Boldt, and Wendy Dolci of NAI Central, and Linda Billings, the NASA HQ Astrobiology Program Communications Coordinator.
