Having enjoyed warmer weather during recent @rsnasky.bsky.social meetings, this year is a change. Landing in Chicago appears as if landing in Antartica!
Exhibitors will be happy as most attendees will be visiting them as they can’t do much outside!

Sunday Brunch:
‘Idlis’ famous South Indian breakfast food is like ‘dumpling’ steamed w no oils or any other…
Challenge to get fermented batter during winter - lucked out for debut try.
While growing, whenever under-weather ‘Idlis’ were the only thing allowed to eat at home!

It is a sad day for medical physics. I am very sad to hear Dr Adel Mustafa passed today. I had so many good memories traveling together to speak at workshops under the suspicious of @aapmHQ
We both did workshops together in Alegeria, Turkey, Brazil & even Cuba (2002).

Chest X-rays could play key role in addressing growing concern of overdiagnosis in lung cancer screening, in Asian popln
Low-dose CT (LDCT) screening led to increased detection of subsolid nodules…concerns re unnecessary treatment & patient anxiety

Had a nice opportunity to meet w current officers of @trueMACAAPM chapter of @aapmhq.bsky.social & other emerging medical physicists.
Equally nice was meeting Hamid Aghdam, chapter president 2003 (2 years after I had served) recalling how much time we had spent together for the chapter!
