Life, Health and Radiation

Description

In this course, you will :

• Radiation is all around us - without it we wouldn’t exist. Yet the word has become synonymous with danger, death and disaster.
• This MOOC will allow the world to see radiation in a new light, to expose its benefits as well as its risks. X-ray radiation, for example, is a scientific and medical discovery that has improved or prolonged billions of lives.
• In this course, we will travel along the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation from unimaginably long to infinitesimally small wavelengths.
