From histologies to fluorescent microscopy, images are an important tool for the analysis and presentation of scientific work. Occasionally, scientific images transcend their role as a medium for transmitting information and contain the aesthetic qualities that transform them into objects of beauty and art.
Submit your scientific images to our first Science as Art Contest! The winning images will be printed and displayed in Stanford Surgery’s offices—including our new space in Discovery Hall—featured on the department’s social media channels, and may be used on department websites.
Deadline: May 22

All Stanford Surgery faculty, staff, and trainees are eligible to participate.
41st Annual North American Meeting
Many Views on Value
DoubleTree by Hilton Portland
1000 NE Multnomah St.
Portland, OR 97232 USA
The theme Many Views on Value rests on the idea that value is a function of the lens through which one sees the world. Inherent in this is an assumption that different stakeholders are necessary to understand the true value of any intervention. The pre-meeting short courses will include methodology sessions on assessing values in patients and caregivers, clinicians, policy makers and other stakeholders.
Meeting Co-Chairs: Karen Eden, PhD, Carmen Lewis, MD, MPH and Daniel Matlock, MD
More information will be posted as we near the meeting.
