Health #misinformation is rampant on social media – here’s what it does, why it spreads and what people can do about it https://t.co/e3aowXcfUz via @InsightNews

"Studies show that health misinformation spread on social media results in fewer people getting vaccinated and can also increase the risk of other health dangers such as disordered eating and unsafe sex practices and sexually transmitted infections."

Friends. I give you Harold Batho (yes, THAT Batho) as a full body slab phantom. Medium: Fiber Board. Head and legs featured below. #MedPhys is weird and awesome.

@alyskhalifa @MedphysCA @COMPTrainees @caro_acro_ca Congrats, Aly! 👏

[Vancouver Radiation Medicine @VanRadMed]

Additional additional congratulations to Vancouver Physics Resident @MedPhys_AmyF for presenting her work on ozone production during #FLASH #radiotherapy. Things got a little peaky during the FLASH survey. Someone should check on the RSOs.

It’s #MRTweek2022! Custom mugs for our @BCCancer radiotherapy friends, who put the *rad* in radiation therapist.
High fives to creators @MedPhys_AmyF @HerveChoi and Andrew Robertson whose skills on a Cricut are matched only by those on a Linac.

Fam! @BCCancer is recruiting 4 #MedPhys Residents in Victoria, Kelowna, Abbotsford, and Vancouver starting July 4/23. We're in the match, but applications must be submitted to us. Sign up for skiing, surfing and reference dosimetry all in the same day!

🗣️Clear reports of sexism & #genderbias in #medphys vs “reverse discrimination” ("it may be a little easier for females to succeed in our field"). How can we improve equity in #radonc when some don't even think we have a problem? 🚨@Oncoalert @DrKCParadis

This is unsurprising to me AND fascinating!

Meet Dr. Amy Frederick, our new resident - we’re so happy she slid into our department from @UCalgary! On the weekends you’ll catch her dancing, baking, or hiking!

We just completed our 8th Patient Communication for #MedPhys Workshop, providing instruction for 145 total attendees from over 55 institutions. Thanks to all those that have supported the program. I’m excited to see what we achieve together! @aapmHQ @ASTRO_org #PCMP2022

[Amy Frederick @MedPhys_AmyF]

Amazing workshop so far! 🤩 Highly recommend for physicists looking to advance their communication skills!

[Todd Atwood @DrMedPhys]

Our virtual Patient Communication for #MedPhys Residents Workshop is underway, with attendees from @uwradonc, @UCSDRadMed, @BCCancer/@VanRadMed, and more. Train early, expand the field! #PCMP2022 @aapmHQ @ASTRO_org @aapmstsc

Hey @AirCanada, I've been stuck in Quebec with continuous cancelations and delays due to staffing shortages and prioritization of international flights. AND your phonelines are down. This is torture. I think it's about time you get your ducks in a row.

[Leonidas Platanias, MD @LeonidasPlatan1]

Going forward, no medical conferences should be done in states that deny health care for women.

The next @ASH_hematology meeting is in Louisiana and the next AACR meeting in Florida.
