Sunday Brunch:

‘Idlis’ famous South Indian breakfast food is like ‘dumpling’ steamed w no oils or any other…

Challenge to get fermented batter during winter - lucked out for debut try.

While growing, whenever under-weather ‘Idlis’ were the only thing allowed to eat at home!

Wish his family for the strength to cope w their loss.

Photos from Ankara, Alegeia & Cuba!

In Algeria in 2008, when hardly any US persons travelled, when we went we were treated w security detail during our stay (first time medical physicist treated w security detail).

It is a sad day for medical physics. I am very sad to hear Dr Adel Mustafa passed today. I had so many good memories traveling together to speak at workshops under the suspicious of @aapmHQ

We both did workshops together in Alegeria, Turkey, Brazil & even Cuba (2002).

Chest X-rays could play key role in addressing growing concern of overdiagnosis in lung cancer screening, in Asian popln

Low-dose CT (LDCT) screening led to increased detection of subsolid nodules…concerns re unnecessary treatment & patient anxiety

Had a nice opportunity to meet w current officers of @trueMACAAPM chapter of @aapmhq.bsky.social & other emerging medical physicists.

Equally nice was meeting Hamid Aghdam, chapter president 2003 (2 years after I had served) recalling how much time we had spent together for the chapter!

Best part after a day long meeting is when we @aapmhq.bsky.social volunteers all gather to “break bread”

Day 2 was a busy day working through & approving the @aapmhq.bsky.social #Budget2026 presented by #FINCOM

Nice to see all smiling faces (EXCOM, FINCOM, Council Leadership & Staff) even after a long day of discussing - analyzing - strategizing

After an all day EXCOM meeting, recalling how much time we (@ToddPawlicki & I) have spent in Alexandria while serving @aapmhq.bsky.social in the past several years.

First he as secretary & I as treasurer & now we both in Presidential Chain

Good memories to cherish!

Bit late arriving to Alexandria Old Town Waterfront, yet a beautiful morning to savior the quietness, to sit & watch before getting to @aapmHQ #budget meeting that might keep us inside all day!

Medical Physicists know how to include everyone in the “field of view (FOV)” both SFOV & DFOV

Here is @ehsansamei.bsky.social research group @dukemedicalphysics.bsky.social w @josephlo.bsky.social going great length to include everyone!
