🚀 Since Oct 1, our @JCO_ASCO paper on colorectal SMN in childhood cancer survivors has been downloaded 420+ times 》 a great sign that it's reaching and resonating with the #radonc, #pedonc, & #medphys communities

The first author, Dr. Constance Owens, trained in my lab, as a PhD student and then as a postdoctoral researcher, and now a medical physics resident at MD Anderson. Pub in high-impact JCO is a significant achievement, particularly for an early-career scientist and medical physicist. #ProudAdvisor‼️

Agree, but id add that they did some nice MCNPX organ dose reconstructions in a phantom library with male+female+age for specific scan protocols.

#medphys #radonc 🥳Let's cheer each other up by sharing something good that happened in your clinic or Lab this week.... We got snow in Houston, and with my lab closed, I had distraction free research time. I made legit progress on my @astro-org.bsky.social abstract 😊💃💃💃😊

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

I'm in as well. This is recent, but my 1st senior author JCO paper + the findings were preliminary data in my 1st ever R01.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
