15 minutes with Victoria Ross and Alaina Robirds

With Paula Scott

The Icon received a tip that Ada High School graduates Victoria Ross (college senior) and Alaina Robirds (college sophomore) are both playing in the Ohio University Marching 110. We recenly chatted about this life-changing experience. 

Q. Is it a coincidence you are both at Ohio University (O.U.)?

VICTORIA: In high school we were alway really good at encouraging each other to take whatever path would really benefit us the most and get us to the places we wanted to go, to reach our goals.

I like to think that telling Alaina of how much fun the Marching 110 is and what a family we have at O.U. I want to think I made it sound like a ‘must come’ kind of deal.”

ALAINA: Victoria is pretty spot on. I was looking at O.U. because I had a teacher who went [there. He said] “Oh you should totally look at it. It’s got a bunch of really great opportunities. Not just course work wise but extracurriculars, intramurals and so I was really drawn to O.U.… and because I had a really good support system here with Victoria.

Weekend Doctor: Weekend Doctor: About medical physicists

By Aaron Bain, MS
Medical Physicist, The Armes Family Cancer Care Center

You may have heard of an astrophysicist, nuclear physicist or theoretical physicist. Scientists like Einstein, Schrödinger and Newton revolutionized our understanding of the universe. But have you ever heard of a medical physicist? It is likely that you haven’t since there are only approximately 13,000 medical physicists in the United States. You may ask yourself, what role could someone who studies the physics of subatomic particles and planetary motions play in the medical field?
