18-year-old's science reporting leads Stanford President to quit

18-year-old Theo Baker became the youngest George Polk Award winner in American journalism history. His reporting for The Stanford Daily has now culminated in the resignation of Stanford's President: neuroscientist and billionaire Marc Tessier-Lavigne. Along with two other misconduct researchers, Baker and Elizabeth Bik uncovered a trail of altered results in the labs of Tessier-Lavigne, covering three different institutions over the past two decades.
