Congratulations to Elizabeth Morris, MD, who received the SBI Gold Medal at the @RSNA Conference this week! On top of chairing the @ucdavis Radiology Department, Dr. Morris is a decorated author, lecturer, and professor and a past president of SBI.

Opening doors to the future of radiology: Inside the RaISS Program at UC Davis Health - ... assistant professor in the Department of Radiology. “We needed a better way to reach our young community about career options in radiology. - ift.tt/lXiHjGn

Happy Birthday, Marie Curie! Born on this day in 1867, she’s the only person to win Nobel Prizes in both Physics and Chemistry, and discovered polonium & radium. Her legacy continues to inspire science and medicine! bit.ly/34B97gk

On #InternationalDayOfMedicalPhysics, we celebrate the brilliant minds behind the images! 💡Our med physicists lead breakthroughs in total-body PET (EXPLORER), breast CT, MRI, AI & dose optimization — advancing safer, smarter, and more sustainable imaging for patients everywhere.

BREAKTHROUGH: @UCD_Cancer researchers have developed a genetic "Trojan horse" that targets and kills Kaposi's sarcoma cells selectively. This innovative approach could revolutionize therapy and improve outcomes. Read more: ucdavis.health/4nGEFdE @UCDavisHealth #CancerResearch

.@UCD_Cancer is looking for a commercial driver for a new 45' mobile mammography vehicle. As the driver, you'd help expand access to breast cancer screenings to populations across Sacramento. For full job description and to apply, visit: ucdavis.health/3WLGt8N @UCDavisHealth

September is here, and with it, #WomenInMedicineMonth—a time to recognize the strength, resilience & brilliance of women at @UCDRadiology! Stay tuned as we spotlight these amazing women throughout the month. #WIMMonth

Congratulations to Dr. @guobaowang for receiving @AcadRad's Distinguished Investigator award! 👏 This esteemed accolade acknowledges individuals for their exceptional achievements in the #MedicalImaging field.

Attendees of the Sacramento Youth Summit heard from @UCDRadiology's Drs. Lotfi Hacein-Bay, Abhijit Chaudhari (@drajchaudhari) & Eric Diaz about all things radiology – from education & career paths to new technologies.

We'd like to give a shoutout to @UCDavisBME & @UCDRadiology's @SimonRCherry for being named one of @AuntMinnie's semi-finalists for Most Influential Radiology Researcher! 👏 Cherry specializes in advancing quantitative biomedical imaging through innovative technologies.

Lots of @UCDRadiology, @UCD_Cancer & @UCDavisHealth expertise and talent involved in this special issue of @CurrProbCancer focused on #imaging cancer #radiology #oncology

During our Faculty Retreat, we built several bicycles as a team-building exercise. Those bikes were donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of El Dorado County Western Slope, who are raffling one off to deserving kids each week. So glad to help our region in both big and small ways!!

So wonderful to see the pioneering research and the enormous amount of hard work of @juliesut8 and her team being recognized. Way to go! @UCDavisResearch @UCD_Cancer @UCDavisCMGI @UCDavisHealth

Congratulations to Dr. Ramsey Badawi for his induction as a fellow of @SNM_MI !! Definitely well-deserved! @rdbadawi @TotalBodyPET #radiology #medphys

Forty years ago today, Sally Ride launched into history as the first U.S. woman to go to space. An astronaut, physicist, and educator, she inspired generations of women and girls to pursue careers in science and technology. go.nasa.gov/3NzVmHU

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

If you're interested in innovation, revisit Dick Ehman's remarkable Ernst lecture on the convergence science of medical imaging. A guided tour of imaging history and new data on the disruptive impact of MRI-related inventions. #ISMRM23 #ISMRM2023

My colleagues and students are just magnetic! 🧲🤓 Hello from Toronto and celebrating our steps forward this past year, both big and small #ISMRM2023 @UCDRadiology @UCDavisBMEGG @UCDavisBME @DrAJChaudhari @Godinezf @lnn_le @ydavidzhu
