Problem is not the term "natural gas", but near mystic reverence of all things "natural". "Natural" is not necessarily better. A disaster that is a "natural" disaster is not preferable. Malnutrition, Smallpox, Polio, Cancer, Getting eaten by a Lion- these are also "natural".

Can we stop putting “natural” in front of “gas”? One of the most successful greenwashing efforts of all time. We don’t call it “natural wind” or “natural sun” - or “natural coal”, for that matter. The nature of gas is that it’s a fossil fuel whose combustion causes climate change

Excited to try the new @aapmHQ #BoardBuddy system! 😄👫👭👬 I think it will be a way for new AAPM board members to learn the ropes and have more in depth discussions in a smaller group prior to the actual meeting. #MedPhys

I can’t begin to stress enough why science communication is so important. Why do we spend so much time doing research and publishing papers if we can’t actually share our results with the people we are doing it for. This video is a perfect example of the magic of sci comm

With deep sadness, we learned of the passing of alum Caley Buxton, MS '19. Caley will always be in our hearts as the most intelligent, loving, and brave person. We will cherish her as a member of the Duke Medical Physics family forever. Full story: medicalphysics.duke.edu/news…
