Got a new book rec from chatting with @mmahesh1 over lunch at the spring chapter meeting of NWAAPM (though I might be waiting a while to get it from the library 😅). So much fun to both see exciting physics and get to know awesome people 📖

Orlando Diaries:

A great number of medical physics students and residences attended the meeting organized by Florida Chapter of @aapmHQ

Many were presenting their research. Wanted to share 👇to show the future of medical physics is strong, diverse & active

Taking advantage of the spring FLAAPM meeting being adjacent to Disney Springs to walk along the water… and then testing how fast I could undo the health benefits from walking by indulging in treats! (those cookies were as big as my fist!!!)

@SonjaDieterich Also I extended the bake time by about ten minutes, but I had different pan dimensions than is stated in the recipe so that probably impacted it

Day One of the Patient Communication for Medical Physicists Workshop complete ✅ Had a great time practicing my communication skills with such an enthusiastic group!

@SonjaDieterich It’s actually a printed recipe in an old magazine! Its more chocolate cake than brownie but tasted good. I substituted cocoa powder + veggie oil for the unsweetened chocolate for convenience, I’d also say to beat the cream cheese and sugar together before adding the egg

End result: marbled cheesecake brownie bars, ready for taste testing back at the office tomorrow :)

Aaaaaand done with day two! Wrapped up earlier than yesterday so I’m off to the store to get ingredients for my next baked treat 😈

@pavitra_ramesh Give them information you wish you had from your reviewers. When reasonable, I include the relevant excerpt of the paper above my comment in a gray box. Delineates comments, easier than line numbers (which I also include) and puts the reviewer comment directly into context.
