RE: History of X-Rays
Tell them to go to the library!! Throughout my whole career, even as a
Congressional Fellow, I used to get this kind of "please do my homework for
me" question and my redsponse (yes, I was a tough teacher) was, in effect,
"do it yourself." It's one thing to answer a specific question, and another
to be asked to do the legwork. Besides, it's poor pedagogy to let students
avoid the hard work of finding the information sources in the first place.
I know well that my point of view is unpopular.
Clearly only my own opinion.

Hello,
I received an email from a couple of high school students who are doing
a project on the history of x-rays and how they have changed the medical
industry. Does anyone have any good references or web sites to help
them?
Their original message is as follows:
We are two students from Florida working on a history fair
project about the way the xray machine has changed history in the
medical field. We would like to know if you would be able to send us any
information about how the machine has changed history or if we could
send you any questions we might have. Thank you for your time.
Thank you.
