At least in the US, medical physicists maintain collegial relationships with physicians to ensure the safe and effective use of radiation in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Some are certified by the same organization that certifies radiologists.

@Quantum_Cthulhu The AAPM is an international organization: go to https://aapm.org/international/?memb=o for more info. Keep in mind that the only person restricting your opportunities is you.

Where to start. How did you not know what medical physicists do? You are there to make sure that the physician does the right thing, insofar as the physics needed is done correctly. Again, how did you not know what your future work would be? Many physicists can carry out their interests...

That is what medical physics was instituted to do: help physicians apply physics to their problems. That said, what do you mean by lack of physics and math? Does this research fit the bill as far as you are concerned...

@Astronuc Here is another startup for SMR founded about a year ago, and shipping its prototype to the Department of Energy's Launchpad program in Idaho to speed up small reactor development. Deployable Energy took less than a year to produce a prototype with 20 employees and is shipping it on...

The fact that you got an interview means they are satisfied with your academic qualifications. You lose it in the interview process either because someone has outshone you or you were underwhelming. If it is your fault, you can do something about it by finding the problem.

The NYT reported that MicroSoft is planning to buy out 7% of its workforce, or about 16,000 employees and Meta is planning to lay off 8,000 employees and close 6,000 open roles. They both claim this is due to investing heavily in AI. Add them to...

@russ_watters , what is your take on how AI companies might be dealt with, regarding how the OxyContin addiction crisis from Purdue Pharma was dealt with? It was civil, but it was more than just a financial settlement for victims.

@Unlucky, did you research each company to get an understanding of their product/service to determine how your background matched their interests? Did you demonstrate interest in working for the company by speaking to your ability to contribute to their goals? Your history of being ghosted...

I don't think there would be one person who would be worth their salt in all of those domains; that is why we want AGI.

For high-energy photons, the biological effect of a large exposure is greater than that of the same exposure spread over a longer time interval, either continuously or in multiple fractions. This is due to the cell's ability to repair damage. The repair becomes more complete as the damage...

We know AI can code, but now AI is being used to design physical devices. Samual Beeks, a Hollander, has modified Anthropic's Claude into an electronic device design assistant called Schematik. From...

Last year in post #123, I referred to a prediction of the development of AI by the group "AI Future Project", which produced a document called "AI 2027," giving a scenario of their view of AI development toward AGI. They predicted that AI would be self-improving and involved in AI research in...

My thought was to show current methodology for teaching QM in secondary schools, so that it would provide some guidance on the depth of knowledge one should have. You should have enough knowledge to deliver a presentation accessible to the least capable learner and provide the necessary...

This is from this article: https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/news/2280-full.html This research has resulted in a book: Quantum in Pictures: A New Way to Understand the Quantum World by Bob Coecke (Author), Stefano Gogioso (Author) available in paperback at Amazon...
