We are starting a new column in Health Physics News. If you have seen a website that contains information that would be of interest to health physicists, please let us know. Just send the URL and a brief explanation of what makes it interesting to News Editor Mary Walchuk.

Our first website was recommended by Steve King. He suggested that for some interesting information on radiation values from airline flights, scroll down to the Cosmic Rays in the Atmosphere section on the spaceweather.com website. There you can read about a new predictive model of aviation radiation called E-RAD, and you can see the Hot Flights Table, a daily summary of calculations of radiation exposure from airline flights.
