CIFAR program members never know where their research will take them. They journey from the smallest atoms to the furthest galaxies (and points in between). On their way, they collect stories of their many explorations. You can join their adventures here, at the Frontiers of Human Knowledge.

Beginning in April 2009, CIFAR donors will receive a monthly postcard by mail from a new frontier. Each postcard will tell a CIFAR researcher’s story of exploration – it might describe the view from the edge of a glass cliff, point out the best place to find a dead zone, or even paint a picture of what the Universe looked like a fraction of a second after its creation.

This website is available to everyone. Click on the photos in the travel gallery above to read more of these stories, hear a podcast, and meet the researcher. You can even send an electronic CIFAR postcard from the Frontiers of Human Knowledge to a friend.

Visit often. On the first of each month we will post a new card featuring a different area of research.
