You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.95.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:49, 2 November 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Edith Smaw Quimby''' (((nee)) Hinkley; July 10, 1891 – October 11, 1982) was an American medical researcher and physicist, best known as one of the founders of [[nuclear medicine]]. Her work involved developing diagnostic and therapeutic applications of [[X-ray]]s. One of her main concerns was protecting both those handling the radioactive material and making sure that those being treated were given the lowest dose necessary.

== Early life and education ==
She was born on July 10, 1891, in [[Rockford, Illinois]]. In 1912, she graduated from [[Whitman College]] in [[Washington (state)|Washington]] with a [[bachelor's degree]] in [[mathematics]] and [[physics]]. After a brief stint teaching [[high school]] in [[Nyssa, Oregon]], she was awarded a 1914 fellowship for her [[master's degree]] studies at the [[University of California]] which she earned in 1916. ((sfn|Yount|1999|pp=177-178))

== Career and legacy ==
In 1919 she moved to [[New York City]], where she took a job at the [[Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center|Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases]] as assistant physicist to [[Gioacchino Failla]], which was very rare for a woman in her time; she became an associate physicist there in 1932.<ref name=":0">((Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/10/13/obituaries/edith-quimby-dies-radiation-expert.html|title=EDITH QUIMBY DIES; RADIATION EXPERT|last=Saxon|first=Wolfgang|date=1982-10-13|work=The New York Times|access-date=2017-11-24|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331))</ref> 

Her working relationship with Failla continued for another forty years. In 1942, she left Memorial Hospital and joined the [[Center for Radiological Research]], led by Failla, at Columbia's medical school, where she worked until 1978. Her research at Memorial Hospital delved into safe doses of medicinal radiation, observing the energy emitted by potential materials for [[nuclear medicine]] as well as the amount of radiation absorbed by the body from different sources. She also studied the potential of synthesised radioactive materials for treating cancer and in other medical research applications.((cn|date=May 2023))

In 1941, she was appointed to the faculty of [[Cornell University Medical College]] as an [[assistant professor]] of [[radiology]]. The next year, she became an associate professor of [[radiation physics]] at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at In [[Columbia University]]. She was promoted to [[full professor]] in 1954 and retired in 1960.((sfn|Yount|1999|pp=177-178))

Quimby received many awards for her work throughout her career and participated in several scientific societies. In 1940, she was the first women to receive the [[Henry Harrington Janeway#The Janeway Medal and Lectures|Janeway Medal]] from [[American Radium Society]].<ref name=":0" /> The following year, she was awarded the Gold Medal of the [[Radiological Society of North America]], for work which "placed every radiologist in her debt.". She was elected president of the [[American Radium Society]] in 1954. In 1963, the [[American College of Radiology]] honoured her with its gold medal. She was one of the first members of the [[American Association of Physicists in Medicine]].((sfn|Yount|1999|pp=177-178))  The [[American Association of Physicists in Medicine]] established a lifetime achievement award in her honor.

== Research ==
In 1962 she released a paper titled "Late Radiation Effects in Roentgen Therapy for Hyperthyroidism" where she suggested ceasing all Roentgen therapy ([[radiation therapy]]) until we had a better idea of how this kind of treatment affected patients in the long term.

== Personal life ==
She was one of three children of Arthur S. Hinkley, a farmer and architect, and Harriet Hinkley. She married [[Shirley Leon Quimby]] in 1915.
