UC San Diego Health Dr. Sandra Meyer as external.

Congratulations Dr. Berumen Murillo!

We (I) have been a little MIA over the past two weeks - so let's get caught up on all the #RadOnc news I missed! For one, check out this amazing paper describing pioneering women in radiotherapy! ☢️ What else have I missed while I have been OOO?

Looking forward to #ICCR2027 edition in Ville de Québec

Congratulations McGill Medical Physics faculty Drs. Ives Levesque and Peter Watson.

In the 1950s Brenda Milner changed the course of 🧠brain science by identifying the specific brain region crucial to memory formation and by identifying multiple memory systems. Today we celebrate her 106th! Happy Birthday Brenda Milner!🎂🎉 mcgill.ca/x/wYY

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Dr. Shirley Lehnert, esteemed professor at McGill Medical Physics . Internationally recognized for her work in radiation and tumor biology, she made significant contributions to research and teaching. Our condolences to her family.

Good luck Dr. Laya Rafiee postdoc EngerLab McGill Medical Physics on running the workshop she organized on "Women in Machine Learning" at the 41 International Conference on Machine Learning in Vienna. We are proudly cheering all the way from Montreal! #ICML2024 McGill Medicine and Health Sciences Lady Davis Institute
