After many years, I'm proud to say that AAPM Task Group 299 on MECT quality control is finally published in #MedicalPhysics! @aapmHQ. Congrats to everyone who worked on this!

[Megan Jacobsen @MegJacobsen]

Glad I could be a part of this @ArjitB_medphys! Best of luck to everyone taking the exam!

@lisag_dmp At least it's not a Sonoscape probe that will let you plug it in upside down and lock it, but then will immediately suffer from dropout.

So grateful to have our #Radvocates on the hill this past Monday. The voice for #imaging #research was loud! #FundHealth #FundNIH #MedTech23

What a night! @Acadrad’s #MedTech23 Showcase comes to a close after another successful year on Capitol Hill. Thank you to our community, these early career researchers, and the lawmakers and their teams who took the time to attend and participate in this incredible annual event!

AAPM is hosting their DREAM Program this summer! Its 10 week summer program designed to increase the number of women and racially underrepresented groups in medical physics by offering research opportunities, outreach and strategic mentorship. Apply today! https://t.co/1zvEUjRwXj

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:

Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability

Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

[JACR @JACRJournal]

5 skills all mentors should have:
1. Setting expectations & providing feedback
2. Listening
3. Motivation
4. Showing Respect
5. Maintaining Contact

@markPsupanich And the response of our TX attorney general is to sue the Biden administration rather than guarantee women access to medically necessary care. https://t.co/opE5sJqgkP
