This #WomenWhoCurie Wednesday we honor @drlarissalee and @drvanwyhe, two tremendous role models, physicians, and friends who were lost too soon. Their memory lives on through their lasting impact on so many of us. We welcome stories or words of remembrance as we grieve together.

@AnaVManana @Humana With double the usual profits, Humana should spend some of that money on improving access to life saving therapies. #fixPriorAuth

“Humana reported last week its earnings rose to $1.8bn, compared with $940m in 2019.”

Huge shout out to @CrystalSeldon! She not only did an amazing job representing #RadOnc #WomenWhoCurie during the @Elekta panel this afternoon, but is also the inspiration behind our #MentorshipMonday initiative (kicking off THIS Monday, Oct 26th)!

Had a great virtual lunch yesterday with ⁦@SylvesterCancer⁩ junior faculty. Shared lots of thoughts about how to have a productive and fulfilling career in cancer research. Thought I’d provide one of my favorite quotes!! https://t.co/cCQ6ZDSF1l

I wonder how many talented researchers we have lost in our settings(LMICs)! In addition to heavy clinics (40+patients/day ), secretary work ,phone calls ,meetings. U’re a PI, ur own research asst ,biostat &everything! I applaude those who despite these challenges do publish !

[Benjamin Farnia, MD @benjaminfarnia]

And I end my journey with another quote by Rumi: “Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.” Thank you and see you another time friends.

Nearly 90% of #women who die from #CervicalCancer are from LMICs. The commitment made from @Gavi to vaccinate 84M girls in #LMICs over the next 5 years could prevent up to 1.4M future cervical cancer deaths. #VaccinesWork

@samgharrington @ChelainG @ABR_Radiology Planned my pregnancy around boards and then the ABR rescheduled rad onc orals for my due date. In their inflexibility, said they wouldn’t accommodate breast feeding a days-old baby if I was somehow able to make it. Tired of planning my pregnancies around 4 @ABR_Radiology exams.

@CyWashington20 We’re so excited you’ll be joining @UMiamiRadOnc @SylvesterCancer!

[Cyrus Washington, MD @CyWashington20]

I must say tht I am grateful tht Im going to a place as supportive as UMiami. During my interview, 1 of my interviewers literally stopped & asked - How can we support you if you come here? It was such a powerful/thoughtful question & Im truly fortunate to be joining them.
