RadiaLogue

by Tina Nguyen and Phani Kuppa

Overview

As we are both majoring in Engineering, we came up with many kinds of related physics topics. After we brainstormed with our coach, we decided to talk about radiation. We have learned that radiation exists everywhere in our daily life, so humans are exposed to radiation that they might acknowledge or not. To be more specific, people now spend more time on technology devices than in the past, so the chance of being exposed to radiation is higher than people who spend less time on these devices. Radiation has impacts on human life as it is applied in industry, medical, and other fields, but the exposure to radiation over a long period of time is an issue for human health. Therefore, people should be informed about what radiation is, how it affects human health, and how humans should minimize their chances of being exposed to radiation. Our podcast is a short and informative yet fun way to learn about radiation and why you need that information. From our conversation, we hope our audience can be inspired and motivated on what they should know about radiation.
