It’s alarming how underrecognized these risks seem to be. Are there any ongoing recommendations or protocols for medical physicists to better protect themselves during events like #AAPM2025?
Anyone else doing a last-minute #AAPM2025 sprint to get credits?! 😂 Evaluation submission is due by tomorrow at midnight, Eastern time.
Don’t forget! Evaluations for the AAPM 2025 Annual Meeting close on September 10 at 11:59 PM (EST). #AAPM2025

#AAPM2025 may be over but the work continues! In this video shot by #AAPM member Natalie West, students and trainees try to summarize their research in 7 words or less.
Thank you to all who attended #AAPM2025 meeting of @aapmhq.bsky.social
According to preliminary data, it is heartening to learn that within the 12% of the attendees were from outside US
Interesting gems: attendees from 59 countries were at the meeting making it a global meeting
Thank you to all who attended #AAPM2025 meeting of @aapmHQ
According to preliminary data, I so happy to share that in spite of all the challenges, still attendance was in par with previous years.
Interesting gems from preliminary data: 12% of the attendees were international!
I could count the other masked folks that I saw at #AAPM2025 on one hand, but there is a mountain of evidence that covid causes long-term issues, one of them being that it is oncogenic. I'm not sure why medical physicists aren't protecting themselves. 😷

We had a busy day, meeting with 4 representatives' staffers and 2 senators' staffers! Everyone was engaging and really working to do the right things, it was edifying to see. More pics in front of offices:

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 😊

I moderated with Alison Roth in an #AAPM2025 session on “Freelance and side hustle”. It was an interesting session on different career paths as well as businesses that arise in our field. What a way to end the last day. @aapmhq.bsky.social @comp-ocpm.bsky.social #medphys @elekta.com
