| schestowitz | I'm checking to see if I can transfer to there | Feb 16 00:26 |
| schestowitz | I have prior experience working on beating hearts and I have worked in medical imaging since 2003, which I believe makes me a suitable candidate for this job. | Feb 16 00:27 |

| schestowitz | -RA at Department of Biomedical Engineering (department focused on multi-disciplinary sciences), (dates: Oct. 2010 - Jan. 2011). Description of job: Analysis of cardiac image sequences (real-time) in collaboration with a hospital. | Feb 16 00:28 |
| schestowitz | My postdoctoral appointments are easy, not too many hours... | Feb 16 00:29 |
| schestowitz | My thesis was part of an EPSRC-funded project - a collaboration with Oxford, UCL, KCL and Imperial College where I worked at times. Since the age of 22 I was invited to give talks in prestigious venues such as the Royal Eye Hospital. I have engaged in lecturing/presenting in academic settings since age 22 and also peer-reviewing papers for leading publications/journals while in my 20s. I worked in medical imaging. | Feb 16 00:29 |
| schestowitz | Oxford would be cool to move to, I was there for research a few times before, I know some of the profs. | Feb 16 00:30 |
| schestowitz | Other than that, I am a graduate (Ph.D. Medical Biophysics) from the Division of Imaging Science and Biomedical Engineering, Victoria University of Manchester, UK. I finished in Sep. 2009 under the supervision of Professor Christopher J. Taylor OBE - Head of School of Computer Science, Chair in Medical Biophysics and Head of Division.

| schestowitz | "Proprietry software is a danger and should be avoided at all costs because its use binds you to its future use and so makes the web and any environment it occurs in less free." | Feb 16 08:11 |
| schestowitz | The reason people should avoid non free software is because non free software demands unjust power over the user. That power is just the way computers work, if your software is not free you or a community representative can't know what the software really does, remove malicious features and otherwise make the computer do what the user actually wants. | Feb 16 08:11 |

| schestowitz | ionising radiation of wifi transmitters etc. * That the precautionary principal (you know, the one western medicine was originally based on) says "potientially dangerous until proven safe", not "safe until proven dangerous". * That wifi being elsewhere doesn't make it any safer in schools (hey people get mugged outside of schools, so we shouldn't try and stop it in school!) | Feb 16 13:30 |
