As a pgy2 #radonc resident, I created a fund @cityofhope to help patients going through radiation treatment who are struggling financially. Never did I imagine that this fund would catch the attention of someone like @TheRock or that he and @Teremana would donate to it!

Thank you to our local Congresswoman @HillaryScholten for visiting our #RadOnc dept this week to discuss ways to improve quality of & access to radiation oncology treatments for patients! #ROCR Bill 🙌🙌

Our friend. Our brother. Our teammate.

We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Dametrius Walker. Meechie was an inspiration to every member of our program and the Michigan family as a whole. He will be missed by so many.

Thank you to all of the #WomenWhoCurie for inspiring, supporting, and mentoring me throughout my training. There remains plenty of work to be done in our field to achieve gender equity, but the movement is gaining momentum & I’m thrilled to be a part of it. @S_W_R_O #RadOnc

[Jennifer Novak @JenniferNovakMD]

That’s a wrap!!! Hope everyone learned a lot, met new people, and are leaving with plenty of new research ideas! #ASTRO21 @ColtonLadbury @jasonrliumd

[Jennifer Novak @JenniferNovakMD]

@ldawsonmd addressing gender equity in the first 5 minutes of the @ASTRO_org Presidential Address is everything I have been waiting for. The time for change IS now, and I can tell you that women in #RadOnc are showing up & ready to lead. #WomenWhoCurie #ASTRO21

[Jennifer Novak @JenniferNovakMD]

@fumikochino @WashURadOnc This was such a great talk. Inspiring and innovative work.

[Jennifer Novak @JenniferNovakMD]

Really happy to see fantastic turnout at today’s DE&I session at #ASTRO21. There is clearly growing interest in this important issue & exciting research as demonstrated by speakers including @BismarckOdeiMD @IvyRadOncMD @VonettaMW @isculapius 👏👏👏

[Jennifer Novak @JenniferNovakMD]

@eriches32 @SammualM I’m in the same boat and I feel your pain.

[Jennifer Novak @JenniferNovakMD]

@SammualM I’ve been waiting for this news for a long time, and unfortunately it’s bad news for me. I’m getting married November 6 and this means none of my fiancé’s family or friends will be there. Not even his parents or his sister can find a way.

[Jennifer Novak @JenniferNovakMD]
