Please evaluate this candidate in terms of ability, scientific train-
ing, motivation, likelihood of using the training for productive investigation or
teaching, and effectiveness in group activities. Use back of this form if needed,
Dr. Conard is a seasoned investigator very much concerned with
the question of aging in irradiated human populations.
He has had
considerable experience in culture of human lymphocytes, their
transformation by PHA, the production of radioactive PHA and would
substantially profit by participation in the course on Cell Culture
for the Study of Cellular Aging. He is responsible for the study
of the Marshallese exposed to fallout radiation and has already
initiated the study of these individuals for accelerated aging. [I
am confident that participation in the above course would better
fit him to study this important aspect in this irradiated human
population, There is no doubt that this training would be used
for productive and necessary investigation of this and other
exposed human populations.
He is an Adjunct Professor, State Uni-
versity of New York, Health Sciences Center, Stony Brook, N. Y.
and will participate in the teaching program between this Department
and Stony Brook,
