Ask The Van

I am a sceptic of relativity theory and am trying to become a believer. As far as I know (about this theory), time slows down when some one travels at the speed of light. What about blind people ? Will this effect happen for them as well ?.. I am curious because blind people have nothing to do with light.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow Opportunity: Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholars Program

By Lance Cooper
April 21, 2013

The Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholars (SMIS) Program is currently recruiting postdoctoral fellows. Applicants must have a PhD or MD and must be US citizens or permanent residents.

The Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholars (SMIS) Program is a diverse training program bringing together more than thirteen Departments, predominantly from the Stanford Schools of Medicine and Engineering, in order to train the next generation of interdisciplinary leaders in molecular imaging. Oncologic molecular imaging is a rapidly growing area within molecular imaging which combines the disciplines of chemistry, cell/molecular biology, molecular pharmacology, physics, bioengineering, imaging sciences, and clinical medicine to advance cancer research, diagnosis, and management. SMIS fellows will conduct innovative research in cancer imaging under the supervision of two faculty mentors from complementary fields, in a comprehensive, integrated, flexible program (up to 3 years). Funding is available for stipend, supplies, and travel.

Applicants must have a PhD or MD

Application deadline: May 13, 2013 for a start date in September 2013

More information can be found on this flyer or at the following website: http://mips.stanford.edu/grants/smis/.
