🏠 Stanley Watras wasn’t trying to make history.
But in 1984, he triggered a radiation alarm before entering his nuclear plant job.
The radiation wasn’t at work—it was in his home.
That discovery reshaped radon policy and indoor air research worldwide.

What is the best USA conference to go to for research on human biology WRT radiation in spaceflight? #spacebiology #radiobiology #healthphysics #spaceflight #cosmicrays #space #NASA
Hi! Dan here. Very excited to join scicomm. I study #healthphysics. Essentially, it's the science of radiological effects on biological tissue. You'll find us in hospitals, nuclear power plants, research departments.. anywhere there may be radiation and animals occupying the same space. I'm looking forward to joining a small, diverse group to share ideas. Thank you for having me. :blobderpy:
