Congratulations to the magnificent Dr. Karen Winkfield for becoming a Fellow of ASTRO !! #FASTRO class of 2023! Thank you for your commitment to making our specialty better than how you found it.

This was for the people.

I stand on the shoulders of giants. Pioneers who are now able to shed a tear as they reflect on their experience in a field that was not always friendly to those who look like me. To them I say THANK YOU! #WeStand #EquityMatters #RepresentationMatters
