VIDEO: For more than 20 years Japan has used a revolutionary technology to treat cancer.
Now, Australian physicists and doctors are joining forces to bring it here. @AINSE_Ltd@ANSTO@WestSydHealth@TargetingCancer https://t.co/FaEcocd9aL
The next AINSE Study Tour of Particle Therapy in #Japan will be held from 16-19 August 2020.

Just come off nightshift at Austria’s new carbon ion facility, preparing for the day Australia has this advanced cancer treatment option available #stemgotmehere#thisismylab#Scienceweek
I started @ANSTO as Instrument👨🔬on AUSANS on 🇦🇺1st Reactor #HIFAR. Now, I’m leading a diverse scientific & technical team at Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering #ACNS Our specialty is neutron research for scientific & industry users @Aus_ScienceWeek#thisismylab#scienceweek
In 1929 Ernest Lawrence, born #OTD, developed an apparatus that used electrical and magnetic fields to accelerate protons to high velocities in a spiral-shaped path before they collided with a target. This new instrument became known as a cyclotron.
Our physicist Dr Dale Prokopovich @sci_dale
supports the launch of a new carbon ion therapy treatment service at MedAustron in Austria and gains valuable experience in anticipation that Australia will have a facility one day. https://t.co/86LbvXbhXW
Applications for @AINSE_Ltd’s 2019 Winter School are now open to final-year #undergrad#STEM students from AINSE Member Universities.
Go hands-on with landmark research facilities & discover potential research projects with leading @ANSTO researchers.

Our CEO, who is passionate about the benefits of particle therapy for the treatment of cancer, explained the technique to the public at a symposium held in Brisbane #cancer#therapy#future
Izabella Zahradnik, 2018 SAAFE student (Scholarship @AINSE_Ltd@ANSTO@FranceAustralia), today outlined her research into diamond-based microdosimetry for use in proton and heavy ion therapy cancer treatment.
2019 SAAFE 🇫🇷🇦🇺 applications are open now! https://t.co/WF8V3CqVrW
NEW: #UltimaThule, now in higher-res! 📸 Both lobes now show many intriguing light & dark patterns of unknown origin, which may reveal clues about how it was assembled during the formation of the #solarsystem! @NASANewHorizons https://t.co/KK3T8ZFt3u
Introducing https://t.co/cIlHtldDda - a neat web app to estimate #radiation exposure during air travel ✈️🌎 Thanks & kudos to the dream-team at the Software Development Studio @UTSFEIT for bringing it into the world! @helloicaro#avgeek
Would you like to include a French-Australian exchange program in your early-career research?
Applications for the 2019 SAAFE Program (Scholarship @AINSE_Ltd@ANSTO@FranceAustralia) are now open for ECRs in Australia and France. Find out more at https://t.co/JIlvHXzF3c.

The last day in Japan was a visit to a Proton Therapy Centre in Tsukuba. Delegates had the opportunity to learn about patient flow in a large hospital. There was also a chance to view treatment rooms and see a rotating gantry in action. @ANSTO@AINSE_Ltd#ParticleTherapyTour2018
An amazing day investigating the benefits of particle therapy at HIMAC in Chiba, Japan. It was a great insight into the technology and research developments being undertaken here. #ParticleTherapyTour2018
