Congratulations to Salma Dammak and David DeVries on their acceptances for oral presentation at SPIE Medical Imaging in San Diego in February!

Congratulations to David DeVries for his 2021 Alan C. Groom award for most impactful seminar in Medical Biophysics for 2020-2021!

@nethertonians Always be constructive, specific, and prescriptive. Don't simply list what is "wrong" with the paper. Start sentences with "This paper would benefit from" and then be very specific as to what you would like the authors to do to improve the paper.

What tips do you have for making your scientific paper reviews most helpful to the authors? #AcademicTwitter

Looking forward to David DeVries' COMP ASM Young Investigators Symposium talk on radiomics for predicting response to SRS for brain mets!

@drchiragparmar @smlungpathguy I see a data driven future of pathology where we can use image analysis to extract this data from digital slide images.

Congratulations to David DeVries for his oral presentation award at Oncology Research and Education Day!

Congratulations to Salma Dammak for her poster award at Oncology Research and Education Day!

Congratulations to Ryan Alfano on his very successful PhD defense! We wish him all the best with his physics residency at the Karmanos Cancer Institute!

Congratulations to Baines Imaging alumna Yiwen Xu on completing her postdoctoral fellowship and medical physics residency at Harvard!

We have really enjoyed collaborating with you and are thrilled you are returning!

How to be more impressive? What a lot of current Neuroscience papers feel like.

Congrats to Dr. Rachel Eddy, Ajay Rajaram, and TianDuo Wang for their Schulich Medicine and Dentistry Internal Graduate Awards! Well deserved! @RachelEddy20 @touchdownwang @WesternU @SchulichMedDent bit.ly/2MO5UDf

The CTCR would like to introduce it newest member: Dr. Donna Murrell, PhD., medical physicist at the London Regional Cancer Program and Assistant Prof. in the Depts. of Oncology and Medical Biophysics. Welcome! @donna_murrell @LHSCCanada @lhscradonc @SchulichMedDent @LHSFCanada

#BLM must be more than temporary social media/protest activity. Police chiefs are chosen by politician-appointed boards. We must actively tell every electoral candidate that our vote requires specific anti-racist policies. This takes work, and, for the privileged, a long memory.

Congratulations to Salma Dammak, PhD student, on being awarded an Ontario Graduate Scholarship!

Congratulations to Dr. Wenchao Han on his Nature Scientific Reports paper, "Histologic tissue components provide major cues for machine learning-based prostate cancer detection and grading on prostatectomy specimens" - first comprehensive validation throughout whole-mount slides!

Congratulations to Ryan Alfano and Christopher Smith on their acceptance for oral presentation at AAPM/COMP! Their joint-first-authored work on targeting PSMA PET-defined intraprostatic lesions using HDR brachytherapy is a great example of student-led collaborative work.

Congratulations to Dr. Wenchao Han on his very successful PhD thesis examination! We wish him all the best during his postdoctoral fellowship at Sunnybrook Research Institute/University of Toronto!
