And the winner is…

Tom Dellinger, medical physicist at Pardee Hospital (Hendersonville, NC) had something to smile about today. He was the lucky winner of medicalphysicsweb’s prize draw, and will be heading home from AAPM in possession of a brand new iPod nano (in medicalphysicsweb blue, of course).

And we’ll be heading home soon too, swapping the Houston heat for Bristol drizzle. I hope that you’ve enjoyed reading this blog, and be sure to check out the main site for AAPM follow-up coverage in the next week or two.
