The Radium Girls: When Medicine Glowed in the Dark

In the 1910s, glowing watch dials symbolised progress ... until the women who painted them began to die. In this deep dive, we uncover how the tragedy of the Radium Girls reshaped modern medicine, from radiation safety to medical ethics. Their bones glowed in the dark, but their courage lit the path toward truth, justice, and the oath every doctor now takes.  Do no harm. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/blood-vessels-eyes-predict-heart-disease-biological-aging-risk [https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/blood-vessels-eyes-predict-heart-disease-biological-aging-risk ] https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/fda-oks-linzess-ibs-constipation-kids-2025a1000ums [ https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/fda-oks-linzess-ibs-constipation-kids-2025a1000ums] https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/uk-regulator-approves-new-skin-test-tuberculosis-2025 [https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/uk-regulator-approves-new-skin-test-tuberculosis-2025] Clark, Claudia. Radium Girls: Women and Industrial Health Reform, 1910–1935. University of North Carolina Press, 1997.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
