#AAPM25 Dr. Bryant Lin talking about his experience turning from physician into a nonsmoking lung cancer patient.
“You know but you don’t know”.

#ASTRO25 has a session on gliomas. Near and dear to my heart because my mom died from one in 1996. I appreciate everyone doing research on this challenging primary brain malignancy.

We visited Manzanar a year ago. A genius museum curator put a picture of the historic bathrooms in today’s bathrooms. My kid looked at the school and asked lots of good questions on what would prevent a repeat of these unjust actions.

Clicking away on my keyboard to meet deadlines for the 2nd edition. I’m an expert procrastinator, but once I get started the momentum is carrying me. Currently I’m having fun with Chapter 19 on gynecological brachytherapy, section on applicator commissioning. #MedPhys
