In this publication in Radiotherapy and Oncology, we summarized the contributions of a selected group of pioneering women in radiation science born before WWII—from the discovery of radioactivity through various scientific developments and breakthroughs. thegreenjournal.com/article/S0167-…

A late but well-deserved congratulations to this year's #S3 winners at the recent #COMPASM2024! First Place: Tyler Hornsby - McGill University Second Place: Trey Chernoff - McGill University Third Place: Susan Dang - University of Victoria See you all next year! COMP

Congratulations Dr. Ives Levesque and colleagues at McGill Medical Physics for receiving a grant from Breast Cancer Canada to assess a new AI tool for breast cancer screening from Singapore-based company FathomX.

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
