"If you are trying to look clean, neat and avoid casting your nets in trouble waters, you will catch no fish."
"The uncertainties in life are so uncertain for us to determine the kind of woe we shall be entangled in in the next future. When you stay dormant, your life is at risk; when you dare to take a step, you take a step to take a risk. We have a choice. Yes! a choice to choose to dare to get to our real reasons on earth or to choose to live in mediocrity and conformity, but, we ought to note that, it is riskier to risk nothing when the life we live is always at risk."
"Lust and flirting are dangerous because at first they are not noticeable."
"Any time you put yourself on the line, you risk (and maybe fear) failing, falling, being embarrassed, or looking stupid-none of which are comfortable."

"Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties."
"I started the nuclear medicine laboratory at UW Hospitals in 1959 and trained radiology residents in the field. It was 1965 before they found a trained MD (doctor) to take over my role."
"I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who would listen!"
"When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics."
"In 1970 I realized that there was negligible risk from x-rays but many radiographs had poor image quality so that the risk from a false negative was significant."
"I would not encourage everyone to take up this profession. Not everyone is suited for any particular field."
"The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job."
"If someone is interested in medicine and also in physics and they like working with people and communicate well with others, I would strongly encourage them."
