Meet the new editors of the Young Corner in the new newsletter format - PDF version
Pierfrancesco Franco and Kathrine Røe Redalen have decided to hand over the Corner to new editors: Jenny Bertholet and Sophie Perryck. Here is what Pierfrancesco and Kathrine have to say about their experience as editors:
“The four years as editors went by quickly and it has been a pleasure to coordinate information about meetings, courses and various other information among the young members of the [European SocieTy for Radiotherapy and Oncology] ESTRO. Along the way we have gotten to know a lot of new people, both within the ESTRO office and in the large ESTRO community, and we are particularly grateful for this new valuable network we have established. We look forward now to engaging in other activities within the ESTRO. We are both still involved in the activities of yESTRO. Kathrine is looking forward to being more involved in the activities of the physics committee. We wish Sophie and Jenny the best of luck with the Young Corner and with the new format; we are confident that our Corner is in the best hands!”
As Sophie and Jenny take over as editors, the newsletter is also changing format, proposing new articles continuously on the website and a bi-monthly email blast.
The first article published in the new format is by Domnica Carpov, who used a Technology Transfer Grant to spend almost a month at the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori in Milan, Italy. Read more about her visit to gain experience in the use of intensity-modulated radiotherapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy in the treatment of head and neck cancers here (http://bit.ly/2ujU9OJ)
We also take the opportunity of this first editorial in the new format to introduce the four new members of the young committee. Along with Sophie and Jenny, Jolien Heukelom and Steven Petit joined the committee last year and currently chair the Young Track for ESTRO 2020. You can find interviews with the four new members in the Young ESTRO Corner (https://estro.org/About/Newsroom/Newsletter/Young-ESTRO) and find out about the exciting programme that Jolien and Steven have prepared for the Young Track at ESTRO 2020 here http://bit.ly/2R8RMY4
One of our most noteworthy articles in this new format is by Anne Gasnier (previous guest editor of the Young Corner) on the significant contribution of Jean and Andrée Dutreix to the field of radiation oncology (http://bit.ly/3alsFcl). Do not miss this touching homage to a pioneering couple of French scientists. If, like Anne, you have good ideas for articles suitable for the Young Corner of the newsletter, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be very happy to publish your material.
As new editors, we would like to thank Kathrine and Pierfrancesco for their help getting started and their precious advice. We are looking forward to updating you regularly with news from young members.
