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. 😷

🦠COVID & Flu infections can reactivate dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs, causing rapid metastasis in mice within days driven by IL-6.

🦀COVID infection in humans is also linked to metastatic breast cancer tumors in the lungs & higher risk of death. buff.ly/a27BulF

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:

Thank you to Alison for inviting me to speak in this session, and thanks for moderating, Young! 😊💕

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

Sad to miss you! I was there Saturday and Sunday, but then not Monday and Tuesday, and then back today, also because of clinical work. I hope you had a good (short!) meeting and safe travels!

I never stopped masking and I very likely never will! Covid is still ripping through folks and my immune system is not so great. 😷♾️

With #AAPM2025 being 'local'(ish) for me, I've spent Monday and today in clinic so other folks could be at the meeting, but I DID put together this POV video from Sunday - navigating from the conference hotel to the meeting space in my power wheelchair. Check it out here:

I found a phone in the women's bathroom on the Room209 side of the main hallway, near the Exhibit Hall. If it's yours, I gave it to the AAPM desk for Lost and Found (main desk). I hope you are reunited!! #AAPM2025
