Radiochemist Elizabeth Rona Recognized
Radiochemist Elizabeth Rona was recently recognized in The New York Times series Overlooked, which is "about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times." The interesting article is available on The New York Times website (may have to register to see article).
Health Physics Society member Joel Lubenau noted that the list of persons with whom she collaborated reads like a who's who of notable early radioactivity researchers. He said Rona contributed a revealing article about early health physics practices (or the lack of them) to Health Physics, "Laboratory Contamination in the Early Period of Radiation Research," 37:6 (December 1979): 723-727.
