🩻 International Day of Medical Physics - November 7

 

📅 Observed: November 7
 🔬 Honoring Physics that Heals
 (Recognized by UNESCO & IOMP)

Every year on November 7, the world celebrates the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP)—a tribute to the quiet but powerful role of medical physics in saving lives and improving healthcare. The date marks the birthday of Marie Skłodowska Curie, the trailblazing scientist whose work laid the foundation for medical applications of radiation.

💡 What Is Medical Physics?

Medical physics is the science that bridges physics and medicine—a field responsible for technologies like:

  • MRI and CT scans

  • Radiation therapy for cancer

  • Nuclear medicine diagnostics

  • Medical imaging safety and precision

Behind every clear scan or targeted cancer treatment, there's a medical physicist calculating dose, managing risk, and ensuring safety.

🎯 Theme for 2025:

“Innovating for Life: Medical Physics in a Changing World”
This year's theme reflects the growing need for adaptable and ethical innovation in medical technologies, especially as we face global health crises, aging populations, and emerging diseases.

🧠 Why It Matters

Medical physics is often invisible to patients but essential to modern healthcare. It empowers:

  • Early diagnosis through imaging

  • Safer surgeries with real-time imaging guidance

  • Accurate cancer treatments with minimal side effects

  • Research into next-generation technologies for personalized care

🧪 Inspiration for Artists & Thinkers

As an artist (CRA), I find deep meaning in the marriage of science and healing. Physics isn’t just numbers; it’s a language of the universe, repurposed to prolong life, relieve pain, and reveal what lies beneath the surface—much like art itself.

“Both the artist and the physicist seek clarity. One with color, the other with calculation.”
— CRA

🩻 How You Can Celebrate

The King’s Dream – Daniel 2:31–45

A Vision of Kingdoms, Power, and the Everlasting Rule of God The Book of Daniel contains some of the most profound prophetic imagery in Scripture. One of the most captivating is King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream described in Daniel 2:31–45 —a dream that reveals the rise and fall of world empires and the establishment of God’s eternal kingdom. In this passage, Daniel interprets the king’s vision of a colossal statue, each part made of different materials, symbolizing successive earthly kingdoms. The dream dramatically shows that human empires, no matter how grand, are temporary , but God’s kingdom lasts forever . ⭐ The King’s Vision: A Terrifying Statue   Daniel begins by recounting the king’s dream: “O king, you saw a great statue—large, bright, and terrifying.” This magnificent figure—glittering metal, towering height, and awe-inspiring presence—reflects the splendor and power of human rulers. Yet its mixed composition hints at the fragility hidden beneath the surface. 🗿 T...
