Almost every person will interact with medical imaging at some point in their lives—for many of us, that first time was before we were even born! 🤰

Yet, the professionals who form this part of our care team often remain a mystery. Chaundria Singleton (host of A Couple of Rad Techs podcast) joins us to discuss the vast scope of radiologic technology and how effective science communication empowers both practitioners and patients for better outcomes. 🦴🧬

Happy birthday to #mathematician & #polymath, Mary Fairfax Somerville (1780-1872). As a young widow she made a name for herself when she won a silver medal in 1811 from the Military College at Marlow math journal. Wallace suggested she read Laplace & finding she understood it as well as her tutor her confidence increased, & she expanded her studies to #astronomy, chemistry, #geography, microscopy, electricity & magnetism.

Today's the 56th anniversary of the confirmation of pulsars by Dame Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell!

First detected in Aug '67, it wasn't until this day that Queen JBB caught the fast recordings.
