RE: cartoon - weird ideas about radiation
Great cartoon. I'ii post it to my friends.
I think it reflects exactly how the "public" percieve radiation risks.
Just look hoe physicist on the list don't understand epidemiology and how
epidemiologists don't understand physics. now think of a person who don't
understand either , or worst , a person who don't under stand almost
anything (=a journalist)adn you got a nice cartoon.
So what shell we do? The same as we are doing now - try to educate the
public without great expectations. Remember that 500 years ago Earth was
considered the center of Universe and it was impossible to teach that Earth
circles around the sun (indeed it was more dangerous than saying today that
low level radiation in beneficial). So have patience... and a bit of good
sense of humour...
