Check out this paper highlighting what Med Phys residency programs can do to be more inclusive of physicists with disabilities. @AAPM_EDIC Great job! #MedicalPhysics#AccessibilitySubCommittee ๐๐ฟ
This tweet says it all. Your advocacy begins at being a good citizen ( if you are) register to vote ๐ณ. Don't be an imposter #2024PresidentialElection
If you wear a #hysterical ribbon and you didn't vote that doesn't make you an ally, that makes you an imposter.

Despite the common misconception, it really doesn't cost you anything to be nice. :) Supporting and validating people who inspire you seems like a logical thing to do.
Happening now @ASTRO_org the advance imaging session is @DrLydiaJWilson's talk on Novel functional imaging to predict surgical side effects for Lung Cancer patients. Good work ๐๐ฟ
