The Center for Clinical Sciences Research (CCSR) is part of the large Medical School campus at…read moreStanford. Completed in 2001 the center was designed by renowned British architect, Sir Norman Foster. Foster has numerous noteworthy building including the Apple Spaceship Campus. The over 125,000 sq foot complex houses labs, research areas and the anatomy department. The design of the building is interesting. It has two parallel rows that are interlinked in the sub floors as well as numerous elevated walkways between the two. The inner area is covered with a decorative lattice of bars as well as some of the sides. The bars are why most of us simply refer to the building as "The Birdcage". While access to the building is limited to students and faculty, the exterior is fun to look at and there is a deli and an art installation located within the buildings footprint. This is much better part of a walking art / architecture tour than a destination in and of itself.

I came to the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) in May 2016…read morefor the 11th International Conference on High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics. The facilities were perfect for a conference of this size on this topic. Talks were given on a stage in a large lecture-hall styled room. I presented my work on Carbon Monoxide at high pressures and temperatures in one of the poster sessions. Posterboards where we mounted our posters were placed in the the hallway side-by-side making it easy to walk poster-to-poster and ask questions to presenters. Breakfast offerings were provided in the morning and coffee throughout the day. We got some conference swag, and tours of the facilities were offered for those who wanted to partake. The cafeteria had a selection of lunch offerings so we could stay on-site for lunch if we wanted. There are also a number of restaurants near-by if you have time and want to go out for lunch.

Came here for a retreat and went on a tour of their facilities. It's absolutely amazing how much…read morework and brainpower went into creating the largest linear accelerator there is. Kudos to team for such a feat!

Incredible faculty and educational experience! We've had our two children at PBS for 3 years now,…read moreand have appreciated the partnership and community. They did a great job with COVID, and I always appreciate how thoughtfully major decisions are communicated. My kids enjoy school and love learning, and are challenged in the classroom and (more importantly to me) appreciate the focus on social-emotional skills as a complement to the academics.

Save your money and just use the Princeton Review or some other book, the book has the same strategies as Axiom teaches. Total waste of money.

We have been so impressed by the rigor of their programs, the training of their staff, their flexibility, knowledge and all around commitment to the success of their students. A huge thumbs up!

The worst core at Stanford - which is pretty bad considering all the cores are awful. Our lab pays…read morethousands of dollars a year for access to software that is often 10+ years old or is incompatible with anything that is older than Windows 95. There are 4 people who work here but I don't know what they do. One person's job I know is to maintain the online chats and repeated say "I don't know" or "We're working on that" or "Let me get back to you" or "Please wait for someone else to respond to you". Examples: - Lee Kozar does not actually work there. He is frequently "working from home" (we all know what that means aka not working). I know this because I have repeated requested software discs and they are locked up in his office. So eventually I gave up. My friend made an appointment with him and he had an emergency, but never followed up. - They believe their job description is going to the gym. Maybe CMGM stands for Core Muscle Gym Management. In the middle of troubleshooting software, Alan Hebert told my friend that he had to go to the gym (in the middle of the afternoon). Of course, there was no follow up with his issue. In summary, CMGM exists to discourage you from getting software working. They are amazing at delaying, not working, and not troubleshooting. They still exist, because we have no other alternatives and if they knew how to do their jobs they would be working at Google or Facebook.
