Only one country on this list moving backwards rather than forwards. Canada's spending on research and development is less today than 20 years ago. Research defines our future. @KirstyDuncanMP @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland @HealthCareCAN

I saved this tweet for the people who are now saying, "no one could've predicted this."

Congratulations!

New record...

[Edward Taylor @edwardktaylor]

Awesome idea. There are comparatively few instances where I think machine learning can really improve things. I think this is one. Suspect there is a high incidence of undetected wrong/missed vertebrae radiotherapy plans!

Here’s the last bit of my dissertation work! Currently writing up commissioning report for this automated tool 😱 😱 😭 😭 💪 💪

However, we are extremely disappointed with their decision to keep #AAPM2023 in Texas. This will inequitably affect a subset of their membership and directly contradicts their EDI mission. Unfortunately, they failed to support their words with actions.
Still #hysterical (2/2)

Proud of air quality @pmcancercentre @UHN Our facilities team did a lot of work in mid 2020 to upgrade air exchanges across many old and new buildings. Needs continuous incremental improvement.

Go crew!!! 🟡⚫️ Had to support our home team playing in the same city as #AAPM2022

These things are not the same, or even similar, and it is embarrassing for a newspaper of the purported stature of the Globe to pretend they are in pursuit of balance. This is a moment to say that the Conservative endorsement of the occupation is wrong, period./3

This wasn't SNL on a Thursday night.

This was Wyoming's Republican primary debate.

Once again, the ONA out-messages @OntariosDoctors. ERs aren’t filling up because family doctors are sitting at home virtually sending patients to the ER. Every one I know has in-person slots; there’s just not enough because of burnout and they’re tired of being sh*t upon.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Ontario health-care workers sound the alarm over ‘absolutely horrific’ hospital demand

“Hospitals in the GTA that are running at 60 per cent staff and a 300 to 400 per cent capacity.”

Some are calling for a flu/COVID strategy for the Fall.

ArXiv (the original preprint server) survived two major transitions: from government (lanl) to academia (Cornell), to private/academia Simons foundation/Cornell). Preprint servers too important to fail?

[Oded Rechavi @OdedRechavi]

Are the mechanisms for ensuring the perpetuity of pre-prints? If a disaster happens and @biorxivpreprint loses its funding, is there a back up or are we dependent on journals? (if the authors choose to send it to a journal after pre printing)

[Edward Taylor @edwardktaylor]

I agree! How do we translate models like this into the clinic, in a patient-specific way? Need (cheap and reliable) biomarkers for hypoxia, what else?

[Edward Taylor @edwardktaylor]

@AhmarSKhan Because why should family doctors (or anyone for that matter) do unpaid work? Hint: because governments/companies typically foist unpaid necessary work on healthcare workers. #misdirectedumbrage.

[Edward Taylor @edwardktaylor]

No! A plot is the ultimate distillation of 10s to 100s of hours of hard work. A thing of beauty! No paper (with a few exceptions and I’m sure I’ve violated this rule multiple times) should contain more than a few plots.

[Niko @NikoSarcevic]

A question to y’all in physics and other sciences: after working on something for many months and you finally share the preliminary results (give a talk) — do you also feel the work is not enough and have the impression “there like 3 plots after so much work?! Really?”

[Edward Taylor @edwardktaylor]

Thanks for this amazing resource!
