I have no time for people who say “it should be a TEAM approach” when *they* want to be included and then are only too content to box out others

CT is an invaluable tool in diagnosis of disease & has been demonstrated to improve patient outcomes.

Press Release: AAPM Addresses Concerns from Published Study on CT Risk
Level of risk found in the study is the same as that estimated in previous work; medically necessary CT exams provide essential information.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.
As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Mandatory government review of articles with CDC coauthors is outrageous. I'm guessing this is the first of all federal orgs? Scientific publishing isn't perfect but this destroys the very fabric of scientific integrity.
Not sure right now what action can be taken. Thoughts?

US CDC orders pullback of new scientific papers involving its researchers, source says
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking to withdraw all papers involving its researchers that are being considered for publication by external scientific journals to allow for a review by the Trump administration, a federal official told Reuters.

First post on the new app!!
Do any of my #MedPhys colleagues have animation/video of a radiation therapy treatment plan (even just a few seconds) that they would be willing to let me use as part of the new NCRP website? (Stock footage has not been helpful here.)
