File that under: places I never thought I would find myself in. We had very productive meetings with the congressional staffers. Wonderful support from @aapmhq.bsky.social staff Lauren and Emily, as well as Jasmine and Matt from Capital Associates. #radoncsky #medphys

I lived in DC when it opened. Metro rides that weekend were amazing. So much rich cultural heritage. It remains one of my favorites.

Mit Übergewicht ist ein Anstieg von entzündlichen Prozessen stark korreliert. Je mehr entzündliche Prozesse es gibt, desto weniger effektiv sind viele Therapien. Im Moment wird sehr aktiv erforscht, ob man mit GLP-1s das mindern kann, und damit die Therapien effektiver werden.

Rundum ein spannendes Thema, auch in der Krebstherapie. Übergewicht mindert dort den Erfolg von Therapien. Es gibt viel zu lernen.

Ausdauersportler nehmen Mineraltabletten. Ich finde bei Hitze sind die eine gute Alternative wenn man die süßen isotonischen Getränke nicht mag. Bei mir geht bei Hitze auch schnell der Blutdruck runter und ich bekomme trotz trinken Kopfschmerzen, wenn die Mineralien fehlen.

Soviet aviator & cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya was the: * 🚀 Second woman in #space (1982) * First woman to fly to space twice, and * First woman to perform a spacewalk (1984) She was born #OTD in 1948. #WomenInSTEM #History

A close-up, historical portrait of Soviet cosmonaut and aviator Svetlana Savitskaya (born August 8, 1948), celebrated as the second woman in space, the first woman to fly to space twice, and the first woman to perform a spacewalk. Smiling warmly at the camera with an open, cheerful, and confident expression, she looks forward with bright eyes, and a wide smile. Her dark brown hair is styled with a distinct straight fringe or bangs covering her forehead, while the rest of her long hair flows over her right shoulder. She wears a white Sokol space suit, visible from the collar up, featuring a prominent blue and metallic metal locking ring for her helmet around her neck and a blue fabric strap across her upper chest. The composition focuses entirely on her face and shoulders against a plain, deep dark background, evoking the vastness of space. The mood is triumphant and inspiring, capturing a historic pioneer of space exploration.

My nanny’s in-law died. All the siblings caught it, only the unvaccinated passed away. Healthy, older but still ran a business full time and was out riding trails with her horses. Lovely person, missed by her family and never really got to know the very young grandkids.
