I wouldn’t be able to top this tweet in a million years… thanks @DrMedPhys, to say I’ll miss working with you doesn’t begin to cover it.
After a decade at @UCSDRadMed, today is Kevin Moore’s (@KevinMoorePhD) last day. His contributions to the field of #MedPhys are monumental and his dedication to the department has been inspiring. Simply put, he’s the best physicist I have ever worked with, and he will be missed.

After 11 years, I put in my last day as UCSD faculty yesterday. I'm incredibly proud of everything we accomplished and would never have left but for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to impact global radiotherapy with Varian Medical Systems. I'll try to do you proud, @UCSDRadMed!

Less than a year since the launch of orbit-rt.org and we've already had >1,000 model downloads! Interesting breakdown of disease site popularity, head-and-neck the clear winner. It's never too late to join, sign up is always free! @UCSDRadMed @ASTRO_org @aapmHQ
I am very pleased to announce the launch of a new platform to help distribute best knowledge-based planning (KBP) practices online called ORBIT-RT (Online Real-Time Benchmarking Informatics Technology for RadioTherapy). 1/6 orbit-rt.org

Why thank you for the thought, predatory conference! I DO remain great. Now off to junk mail with you…

Sorry to have to head home early, #ASTRO22 was truly Grand. Can’t wait for @UCSDRadMed to have the home court advantage for #ASTRO23… see you next year in San Diego!

Phenomenal global clinical trial effort! Negative on the primary endpoint but accrued nearly 800 patients in less than two years during a worldwide pandemic. I wonder what other clinical trial questions in this patient population we could ask with such a globalized effort?

@ErinGillespieMD presents a provocative phase II RCT of prophylactic #radiotherapy to asymptomatic but high risk bone Mets. N=93 Convincing home run, 29% vs 1.6% skeletal related events, with an ⬆️ OS benefit! Remained significant on MVA #ASTRO22 #OncoAlert

Finally @DrMedPhys gets to share the our @UCSDRadMed Phase 3 trial results in physicist-patient consults! Upshot for patients: significant reductions in anxiety and an increase in overall satisfaction. Dr. Benjamin Mosvas was the discussant in the #ASTRO22 Clinical Trials session

I am biased, but IMHO there's no better #MedPhys team to work with and no better #RadOnc department at which to work. Join us! @ToddPawlicki @DrMedPhys @TitaniumO_2 @LaPadi_MedPhys @DrXRay_ @KK_MedPhys @dbrown_medphys @caseybojechko @JerinSD @Daniela_Branco_ @IrenaDragojevic
World-class facilities in a picturesque setting. We’re hiring a #MedPhys faculty for our main center in La Jolla. Learn more and apply below. ⬇️ apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF033…

Summer 2022 project: surfboard shaping and glassing! I decided to go with an all carbon fiber design for this 6' twin fin. The swallow tail definitely added complexity, though the fish design is a San Diego classic so it felt like a moral imperative to make this my first effort.

And when the first board you ever shaped is shiny carbon fiber, only Black's Beach will do for its first surf!

Done and dusted, #AAPM2022! I’m calling it, this was the best and easily the most #Hysterical @aapmHQ annual meeting I’ve ever been to. So good to see both old and new friends after the multi-year pause, hear about great science, run all over DC, and get into some good trouble.

What is “clinical acceptability”? Please come to the session ‘Automated planning - what do physicians want?’ Tomorrow at 7:30, where I will be pondering this topic!! #AAPM2022 @KevinMoorePhD

Alright #AAPM2022 runners, everyone's adjusted to the time zone so it's time for round 2! Let's do the Three Branches run: the Capitol, Supreme Court, and White House. ~7.5 mile run. 5:30am in front of Conf Ctr. (And it's 5:30 for real this time because folks have 7:30 sessions!)

You’ve seen the rest*, now come see the BEST IN PHYSICS talk by @DrMedPhys! @aapmHQ @UCSDRadMed
Join us today at #AAPM2022 to talk about global #MedPhys, including the impact of physicist-patient consults (7/11 at 1:45 in Rm 202). Let’s go!
