UW Radiation Oncology Celebrates International Day of Medical Physics & Madame Curie Day – 2025
Today we honor Marie Curie, whose pioneering discoveries in radioactivity transformed science and laid the foundation for modern radiation oncology. As the first person to win two Nobel Prizes—in Physics and Chemistry—her legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists and physicians. At #UWRadOnc, we celebrate the contributions of women, and all those who have been traditionally underrepresented in science and medicine, who carry that legacy forward—advancing research, improving patient care, and mentoring the next generation of innovators. Here’s to curiosity, courage, and the pursuit of knowledge! #RadOnc #WomenWhoCurie #WeWhoCurie #UWRadOnc #UWMedicine #FredHutch #MedPhys
