Minority Women in Radiation Protection

Last year the Health Physics Society Public Information Committee (PIC) launched an initiative to document and celebrate women in radiation protection. Sidni Moore, of the National Institutes of Health, and Sara Dumit, of the PIC, have begun work on a new page that honors minority women who have contributed to the profession. The second fantastic female to be featured is Dr. Julianne Pollard-Larkin, the first African American woman to earn her doctoral degree at the University of California, Los Angeles. Learn more here about this impressive lady.
