It isworth a read. TheCorner endswith an interviewwithKristinKarlsson,whopresentsher PhD researchon “Stereotacticbody radiation therapyof lung tumours– clinical anddosimetric aspects”. Finally,wewelcome any feedbackon thePhysicsCorner andwe look forward to receivingnew submissionsofPhD theses thatyouwould like to sharewith theESTROphysics community.
