(1/2) Last month the first manuscript of my PhD project was published! We developed methods to generate suboptimal dose distributions in controlled ways - an important step in my goal to create an automated platform for education in plan quality review

Participating in GSRD 2025 was such a great experience. Special thanks to everyone in my PhD advisor @LaurenceECourt lab, where we are working to bring high-quality, rapid radiotherapy planning and treatment to under-resourced regions of the USA and world! https://t.co/8IoOZ4rnnN

We’re kicking off our elevator pitch series — created to share award winning pitches from Graduate Student Research Day — with Medical Physics PhD candidate Skylar Gay! He mentioned it was an honor to watch peers present their research. Now he’s sharing his with everyone!

The scientific elevator pitch is a 90-second summary of a student’s research, intended for lay audiences, and designed as a powerful career tool to help them connect and gain support among peers, and build confidence by articulating their thoughts.

It was a pleasure to present my research at the ICCR2024 conference in #Lyon. This represents the first step in our goal to provide a low-stakes automated platform in which radiation oncology residents can hone their radiotherapy plan review skills

Last week, the 2024 Kopchick Fellows enjoyed breakfast with John Kopchick, PhD '80, and his wife Charlene, namesakes and supporters of these student research awards. Learn more about the fellow at https://t.co/bR3CWEk05b! #WeAreGSBS June 14. #WeAreGSBS

2024 @MedPhys_MDAUTH student retreat was a success! Started the day off with a career development workshop, followed by a group trip to the Houston Zoo! @MDA_UTHGrad @MDAndersonNews

[Paige Taylor @mpPaigeTaylor]

And that’s a wrap! Thanks @MDA_UTHGrad for such a special celebration of this accomplishment. Especially meaningful to celebrate with fellow @MedPhys_MDAUTH grads. Can’t wait for this next phase as faculty for @MDAndersonNews. Keep an eye out for new research from the IROC lab!

@MaryGronberg @aapmHQ @HoldDownTheFord @LaurenceECourt @stefparkerj @WomanPhysicist Congrats Mary!!! 🥳

[UTSW Radiation Oncology @UTSW_RadOnc]

Congratulations to @MaryGronberg, Ph.D., one of our physics residents, who was selected for the International Council Associates Mentorship Program! This decision was based on her commitment to #medphys in the global health context and potential to be a leader within @aapmHQ.

Today, we received the awaited decision on the US aid package that we long fought for. And a very significant one. Our warriors on the front lines, as well as our cities and villages suffering from Russian terror, will feel it.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted on it today. I thank everyone who supported our package, this is a solution for protecting life. I personally thank Speaker Mike Johnson and all American hearts who believe, as we do in Ukraine, that Russian evil must not be winning. I am hopeful that the bill will be quite quickly passed by the United States Senate and sent to President Biden.

We appreciate every sign of support for our country and its independence, people, and way of life, which Russia is attempting to bury under the rubble. America has demonstrated its leadership since the first days of this war. Exactly this type of leadership is required to maintain a rules-based international order and predictability for all nations.

We will undoubtedly use American assistance to strengthen both of our nations and bring a just end to this war closer, the war that Putin must lose.

I thank our entire Ukrainian team and everyone who works tirelessly to bring this outcome closer. I am grateful to all of our country's representatives, diplomats working to strengthen support for Ukraine, all civil society members, every volunteer who works for Ukraine, and all of Ukraine’s friends around the world. I thank my team.

The world rallies behind Ukraine’s cause when Ukrainians rally behind independence.
