Fwd:RE: History of X-Rays
I agree to a point with Ruth. So much information is available on the Internet
with the click of a mouse that those students should be able to glean what
information they need with minimal effort. And their local library would likely
have Internet access as well as a variety of books on the subject. However, I
can understand them wanting to gather information from experts in the field
(which I think would enhance their project but should not replace their own
self-directed research). You may quote me on that. :)
I remember that the traveling tour in 1995 about the discovery of X-rays by
Roentgen and the subequent development of X-ray technology had some excellent
information that would have been a great resource for these students. I
actually got to see it twice, once in St. Paul when we vacationed there and then
again a few weeks later at the annual HPS meeting in Boston.

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.
