The BC Cancer Foundation reached $6.5-million in funding, enabling the purchase of a new Vero™ treatment machine. The first of its kind in Canada, Dr. Ross Halperin believes “the VERO™ is an exciting treatment technology that will open the door to research new treatment options for patients with brain, liver, pancreas, kidney and lung cancers.”

Congratulations, Nevin, on successfully defending your PhD thesis.
It’s titled “Temperature and pH imaging using chemical exchange saturation transfer MRI contrast.” It doesn’t yet appear to be available, so you might find a recent paper of his (“Quantitative tissue pH measurement during cerebral ischemia using amine and amide concentration-independent detection (AACID) with MRI” [betcha can’t say that five times, fast!]) interesting in lieu.
Congrats!

It’s that time of year again. Expecting coughing, sneezing, and malaise to abound … it’s flu season!
The PHSA effort is now underway:
In the coming days, we will launch our annual flu shot campaign with the goal of immunizing as many health care workers as possible before December.
The campaign supports PHSA’s influenza control policy, which requires health care workers either have a flu shot or wear a mask in patient care areas during the flu season. The policy applies to all health authority staff (unionized and excluded), physicians, students, volunteers, contractors and visitors to PHSA’s acute care facilities.
[…]
PHSA’s annual flu shot campaign starts October 20. I encourage you to get your flu shot early to avoid lines as the flu season nears.
Carl Roy, President and CEO of the PHSA
