Vanderbilt’s Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences will provide courtesy annual lead shielding inspections every Thursday from mid-January to mid-May from 3:30 to approximately 9 p.m. The Tennessee Department of Health and Environment, Radiological Health Division, requires inspection of personal protective lead shielding. VUMC requires lead shielding be inspected visually and fluoroscopically annually.

John Gore, Ph.D., director of the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science, has been named a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.

Vanderbilt Radiology was well-represented this weekend at Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee! In a state where over 1 million people are at risk of hunger every day, Second Harvest collects almost 15 million tons of food annually from retailers, manufacturers, producers, growers, and donors. With the help of volunteers, this food is inspected, sorted, and packaged so it can be delivered to nearly 500 partner agencies over 46 counties in Middle Tennessee who help get this food to hungry children, families, and seniors.

We were just finishing up an interview over lunch at Husk in downtown Nashville. The restaurant is a fine Southern restaurant with elegant pimento cheese, good-looking waiters, eggplant accent walls and James Beard award-winning Chef Sean Brock. I was interviewing Mike Butera, the founder of Artiphon, an all-in-one instrument device, designed to inspire casual musical creativity and exploration.
