The first ever female associate prof in GU and it’s 2025???! WHATTT? But also, that’s amazing! Sophia Kamran, MD is such a rockstar and totally deserves that honor!

To all of you radiation scientists planning to apply for the NIH PAIRS funding mechanism (PAR-22-198) for June 5, I just learned that it was cancelled (though the website states it is active). Bad news, but I guess now I can go drink margaritas 🍹

The great Bert van der Kogel just gave me his latest textbook! We are so lucky to have him visit monthly as an emeritus professor. My whole office fills up with students for intense radbio discussions! 🤓🧬☢️ #radbio

Mentoring these incredible students is one of the greatest joys of my life. End of semester outing to celebrate a grant, their awards, and a great semester! UW–Madison

Amazing time at the chromosomal instability workshop (thank you The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research !). So lucky to be a part of this incredible community. The science discussed here is just 🤯.

OMG no pubmed for at least 24 hours this weekend. What am I supposed to do, find a hobby? UGH

I looked up an old paper of mine using my name and AI overview told me this: "The "PF" likely refers to post-feminist, a term related to her research on the societal and cultural context of HPV and cervical cancer". PF are my initials. AI not so smart 🤣

Amazing time at Radiation Research society #RRS2025 - great science with great people! Now onto #ASTRO25. I love our radiation oncology community ☢️

Want some exciting science? Come to our biology session at 2:30 (rm 155) to hear about the neuroimmune axis, KEAP1 and FANCI in radiation resistance and immune evasion after RT! 🧬 #ASTRO25 (this will be cooler than other sessions obvi)

Beautiful start to clinical trials session by thanking the patients and their families for participating ❤️. They are the true heroes. #ASTRO25

This little scientist is sooooo happy that the first 2 plenary trials included SCIENCE and BIOLOGY and guess what? They were highly positive trials!! Using biology to inform clinical questions is the way to go. And the way to improve patient outcomes. #ASTRO25 🙌🏻

Wonderful grant writing workshop at #ASTRO25 with very helpful slide deck. Great advice by the experts…. Now time to buckle down and write 😱

Medical students interested in radiation oncology- come to the University of Wisconsin-Madison program open house 10/9 from 6-7. UW has cutting edge science and technology- radiopharm, protons, etc (and cheese curds and lakes). Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

My lab got me a birthday card and it’s so hilarious (and true 😭). I love them so much!

Beyond grateful to be a scholar in the Forbeck Foundation that celebrated its 40th anniversary this weekend. 3 former Forbeck scholars have been NCI directors! Incredible organization and huge congrats on 40 years!

Opening for Chair of BME at UW Madison 😍 Join us and be a Badger! 🦡 🤍❤️ Lots of investments in our department with a new Dean, including new space and new faculty hires. We have talented faculty and amazing students 🎓 jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/biomedica…

It ain’t vaccines, it ain’t Tylenol… it could be old sperm?

Sooo proud of (and giddy happy for) my awesome friend and colleague Emma Watson for getting an HHMI award. Incredible honor at the start of her career! Bravo 👏🏻🥳🍾

Too many mediocre men talk over capable women. Study of problem-solving teams: Men dominate the conversation, taking 50% more turns and saying 69% more than women. Men with low skill speak more than women with high skill. It's long past time to value competence over confidence.

Happy Halloween from the PipLab! We are now studying radiopharmaceutical therapy and look at my cute undergrads as beta particles and gamma rays slaying that cancer cell (me)! Novartis UW–Madison
