Up to half of people who should be screened for colorectal cancer do not get the routine procedure. A blood test to detect colorectal cancer being developed by Stanford doctors and materials scientists could help change that.
A new approach at Stanford's Center for Ocean Solutions combines two-dimensional and three-dimensional remotely sensed seascape models to more accurately identify complex reef structures and the populations of fish living within them.
In the course CS 181: Computers, Ethics and Public Policy, Stanford students become computer programmers, policymakers and philosophers to examine the ethical and social impacts of technological innovation.
