I mean she's a white woman.... so it wouldn't be her career that would be facilitated by being made that there was no diversity on the paper.

But wait, looking at the FULL author list (if you click 'et. al' on NEJM):

I am not going to bother googling all of these names, but surely some or most of those circled in red are probably women?

So we (the proverbial 'we') are outraged because the female names are all 'below the fold' as one would say if talking about newspapers? But co-authors on a NEJM paper?

She buried the lede. My understanding is that these drug publications are essentially ghostwritten by the pharmaceutical company rather than actual physician investigators and therefore she should take up her DEI/ESG issues with Novartis management.

Seock-Ah Im, Frances Visco, Karen Afenjar, and Yan Li are all women as well. Seems kinda Eurocentric and patriarchal to just assume the "non-white" names are all males, just sayin'

Does not look adaptive to me…

It appears to be postoperative. Likely something with perineural invasion, the volume seems to extend into the skull base.
Certainly, nothing you would need adaptive tratment for, IMHO.

Lot of stuff doesn't need protons either.... But the machines won't pay for themselves
 
I don’t think the post even said they’re adapting? In fact I would be shocked if any department did an adaptive on their first ethos treatment.
 
evilbooyaa said:
In fairness, it does just say first patient treated on Ethos (not saying they're adapting on this fraction or potentially even this patient)

In fairness, the second sentece on the Tweet is on adaptive treatment.

So, it's a bit like if United Airlines posted a pic of their brand new Boeing jet on the tarmac, saying it's their first delivery, and they are excited to start their non-stop service New York City to Mumbai. And when you look at the picture, you realize the jet is missing its engines.

Gotta at least do it for a pic in clinic, otherwise they'd get cancelled by the "OMG YOU'RE GOING TO KILL YOUR PTS WITH COVID THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCREEN AND LEAD WALLS" crowd that seems to still be going strong (see earlier in this thread about the brave person still wearing an N95 wherever she goes)

Yes, but do these four also identify as females? The plot thickens!
We need pronouns in scientific journals!

Interestingly enough, it seems like I jumped the gun here. My bad.

I've still removed the most outright political-focused posts, as I hope this thread can stay mostly within the already-broad topic of rad onc twitter...

I defer to @Neuronix and @evilbooyaa . If you look at how they have handled this thread over the years you can come to a pretty decent idea of how they operate. Obviously there is some overlap.

At this point, @Neuronix and @evilbooyaa should be salaried

Because we risk them getting headhunted by intelligence agency cybercrime teams otherwise

Oh, no, evil and neuronix are handling things fine. Just a comment on our professional society's penchant for wading into the mire of world politics while concurrently making radonc-specific decisions that seem antithetical to their purported mission.

We try to minimize but it's like trying to bail out a sinking boat on an expanse ocean riddled by machine gun fire with a teaspoon

So we never catch everything. Use the report function!

Also - SDN Stock. LOL. Good one. I come here for the education. And the power.

I dunno...

I think SDN is currently more professional than RO Hub...has the ASTRO President-elect called anyone at their real-life job to complain about RO Hub moderation?

Doubt it.

Thank you GSG.

I want to make a public apology to MidwestRadOnc. I thought this was the return of a banned user. Without giving any details of why I thought this, I was incorrect. This led to his ban, but evilbooya pointed out the error. We reinstated his account.

SDN does not as a matter of policy allow mask and vaccine denial discussions. While this is above my head and not my policy, I am fine to enforce it as I do not disagree.

Mild political discussions are tolerated. Please don't go off the rails.

Also, SDN is non-profit. Over the years I've seen no attempt to change that. I get nothing out of SDN professionally or financially--I just believe in the mission of having a free space to discuss medical topics with and run by like minded individuals.

@MidwestRadOnc Our bad, Dude/Dudette!
 
A number of posts in this thread regarding COVID and politics (and UNRELATED to RO Twitter) have been moved to their own thread, which has now been locked.

Further discussion of COVID and politics on this thread will be handled with pistol whips and warnings, and bans. MWRO, looking at you. You had your last hurrah which I have left in place for posterity.

When a rad onc is going to Iraq with tension rising in the Middle East, especially in regards to Iran… can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen next.

Uh.

Yeah.

I obviously have a lot of interest in debating things like ROCR and Direct Supervision

But it increasingly feels naively optimistic that these things will even matter 5 years from now.

Would guess that he is a reserve officer. Obviously, not there as a radonc?

Probably not

Although the technology used in the accelerator in a Cyberknife is an offshoot of Army research to develop a linac that could be portable and the size of a backpack and wearable by a soldier (very Ghostbusters)

The reason the Army wanted this is still unknown to me to this day
 
I was not even aware that the US had troops in Iraq.
I thought they had all pulled out, especially after that air strike that killed that Revolutionary Guards guy a few years ago.

I looked it up, and it seems there are around 2500 US troops in Iraq currently. Some probably guarding the embassy / consulates and some small contigents for the few bases left. ISIS is still active in Iraq, so I presume intelligence gathering and drone operations are still a thing.
