Three people talking in an office. A man is sitting in a chair, and two women are sitting on a couch facing him. One of the women has an adorable black Chihuahua in a pink harness on her lap, Evie. Evie is looking at the camera and is a very good dog.

Kudos to AAPM, one of AIMBE’s coalition members, on a successful advocacy event on a huge scale!
It was great connecting with our AIMBE Fellows, Dr. Ge Wang (RPI) and Dr. Bob Nishikawa (University of Pittsburgh), during their congressional meetings today 😊

It was a pleasure accompanying our AIMBE Fellows during @aapmhq.bsky.social’s first Capitol Hill Day!
We spoke with congressional staffers on the importance of medical physics and federal research funding. As a Cornell alum, it was nice to meet with Thomas from Rep. Riley’s office!
