@DrMedPhys @VarianMedSys @aapmHQ @ASTRO_org Jeez, it was just a small maintenance release! Still learning the ropes over here... would you like me to file this as a security issue report, feature request or a customer complaint?

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

@JulieLarkin305 @DrMedPhys @UCSDRadMed @MDAndersonNews Tempting offer, @JulieLarkin305! I took a position with Varian Medical Systems and am staying in the San Diego area, so while I can’t as easily steal espresso pods from @DrMedPhys’s office as I’m accustomed to, I’ll still be around the way. (Cc @Laura_Cervino on the switch)

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

I wouldn’t be able to top this tweet in a million years… thanks @DrMedPhys, to say I’ll miss working with you doesn’t begin to cover it.

[Todd Atwood @DrMedPhys]

After a decade at @UCSDRadMed, today is Kevin Moore’s (@KevinMoorePhD) last day. His contributions to the field of #MedPhys are monumental and his dedication to the department has been inspiring. Simply put, he’s the best physicist I have ever worked with, and he will be missed.

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

After 11 years, I put in my last day as UCSD faculty yesterday. I'm incredibly proud of everything we accomplished and would never have left but for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to impact global radiotherapy with Varian Medical Systems. I'll try to do you proud, @UCSDRadMed!

Less than a year since the launch of https://t.co/KKV4IdFpoE and we've already had >1,000 model downloads! Interesting breakdown of disease site popularity, head-and-neck the clear winner. It's never too late to join, sign up is always free! @UCSDRadMed @ASTRO_org @aapmHQ

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

I am very pleased to announce the launch of a new platform to help distribute best knowledge-based planning (KBP) practices online called ORBIT-RT (Online Real-Time Benchmarking Informatics Technology for RadioTherapy). 1/6

Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Drs. Kim and Beadle regarding the current state of automated treatment planning on the @ASTRO_org Journals podcast! @UCSDRadMed @LaurenceECourt https://t.co/uZbQ4K6eOk

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

Why thank you for the thought, predatory conference! I DO remain great. Now off to junk mail with you…

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

@marielcornell @JHGLab @elizapowerpuff @leigh_conroy @LindsayPhys @JonJKruse @CGlideHurst @samsonpp @lauren_henke @DrEenasOmari Ok #ASTRO22 was great but let's pick up this thread again, shall we? I love several of her new songs - Midnight Rain in particular - but am I alone in thinking this B-side(!) off the 3am Edition is the best one of all? https://t.co/lZYUoKVwXC

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

Sorry to have to head home early, #ASTRO22 was truly Grand. Can’t wait for @UCSDRadMed to have the home court advantage for #ASTRO23… see you next year in San Diego!

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

Phenomenal global clinical trial effort! Negative on the primary endpoint but accrued nearly 800 patients in less than two years during a worldwide pandemic. I wonder what other clinical trial questions in this patient population we could ask with such a globalized effort?

@UCSDRadMed Dr. Mayadev presenting the #globalHealth CALLA Durva+CRT in Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer

No diff with addition of durva
Low early/late toxicity
Global unprecedented tech advanced RCT

@ASTRO_org #ASTRO22

[Shankar Siva @_ShankarSiva]

@ErinGillespieMD presents a provocative phase II RCT of prophylactic #radiotherapy to asymptomatic but high risk bone Mets. N=93 Convincing home run, 29% vs 1.6% skeletal related events, with an ⬆️ OS benefit! Remained significant on MVA #ASTRO22 #OncoAlert

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

Finally @DrMedPhys gets to share the our @UCSDRadMed Phase 3 trial results in physicist-patient consults! Upshot for patients: significant reductions in anxiety and an increase in overall satisfaction. Dr. Benjamin Mosvas was the discussant in the #ASTRO22 Clinical Trials session

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

@elizapowerpuff For those impatiently waiting for the Midnights album drop, I would recommend the following musical appetizer that just came out: Plains' "I Walked With You a Ways"

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

@elizapowerpuff Err, that is to say, I look forward to discussing the new album with my fellow #MedPhys Swifties on this thread! (*sheepishly acknowledges that Kanye West jokes aren't aging very well right now*)

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

@elizapowerpuff Yo @elizapowerpuff, I'm really happy for you and imma let you finish, but @KevinMoorePhD had one of the best #RadOnc #MedPhys #TaylorSwift twitter threads of all time!

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

I am biased, but IMHO there's no better #MedPhys team to work with and no better #RadOnc department at which to work. Join us!

Me: I have concerns about the amount of US military spending.

Also me: BLUE ANGELS, YEAH! And while I'm at it, Top Gun: Maverick is the best movie of the year!

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

Ok gonna go have me a cry now……… his spelling is just atrocious. 🥺😭

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

@danimazi1 Given the amount of work that when into this hunk of foam I'm going to say no to orders at this time, but maybe I'll find a way to work shaping into the KBP rotation... so much valuable down time while the automation is automatin'!

[Kevin Moore @KevinMoorePhD]

Summer 2022 project: surfboard shaping and glassing! I decided to go with an all carbon fiber design for this 6' twin fin. The swallow tail definitely added complexity, though the fish design is a San Diego classic so it felt like a moral imperative to make this my first effort.
