What creative solutions do you have for overcoming the high radiation exposures on a mars mission? Just getting to mars could mean lethal doses of radiation to the crew. You can't take tons of lead into orbit for shielding. Does that mean using nuclear propolsion to get there much more quickly? Once on mars do you plan on colonies to live under the surface to shield high radiation levels?

Does your database track which surgeons use the World Health Organization (WHO) surgical safety checklist (NEJM, January 29, 2009) or identify any other best practices that top ranked surgeons may be using to improve patient safety and quality?
