摘要

This spring, David Hartley found himself leading a double life. By day, he was teaching a class at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. By night, he was a student at George Washington University in Washington DC. Hartley, a surface physicist by training, is one of a small but growing number of professional physical scientists who are going back to university to begin new careers in biology. Under a unique grant programme from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), about 20 mid-career scientists each year are going back into the classroom. The grants, known as K25s, allow researchers to spend up to five years learning the discipline of their choice. "Physics has always been the centre of my world, ever since I can remember," Hartley says. But by next spring, he will have completed a master's degree in public health and will begin an active research programme that will combine his knowledge of maths with his new-found love for epidemiology.
