It's February and 70 degrees with sunny skies. Or did you decide to stay home? February is a great time for a midwinter warm-up at the 2019 Health Physics Society Midyear Meeting in San Diego, California. The low temperature in San Diego is probably above the high temperature where you live.

Other than the great weather, we have an interesting program lined up for the meeting, which will take place 17–20 February. The Military Health Physics Section session leads off with a review of the history of its Health Physics Program. Not to give the talk away, but did you know the first guidelines for patient exposure were developed by the military in 1898? Military programs cover almost every aspect of health physics. We're sure they will have a program that matches your interest.

We will also have a Medical Health Physics Section special session on Wednesday morning. In the afternoon, there is an International Radiological Protection Association special session on Radiation Safety Culture in Medicine.
