RadioNuclear

In this episode we cover neutron radiation, positron emission and electron capture and introduce the basics of the effects of radiation on our cells. We've answered some of your questions and have begun a new segment, "On the shoulders of Giants" where we talk about great figures from science history. This week we talk about George Washington Carver, an agricultural scientist and inventor who rapidly advanced farming and improved the lives of many Americans.

The first episode of this brand new podcast coming out of King's College London is all about radioactivity: What it is, where it comes from, how it's used and how the media represents it. This series of podcasts is starting off with an introduction to the principles of nuclear imaging sciences (PET and SPECT) and radiotherapy. Let us know what you'd like to hear about in future episodes!
