WI Notes

The Speaker at the October meeting was Jim Henderson who gave a very thought provoking talk about his experience as a doctor on secondment to the Atomic Casualty Commission in Hiroshima in 1954 studying late side effects in survivors of the bombing in 1945. Jim explained differences between the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, how the geography of the two sites resulted in differences in the way the populations were affected and how the outcomes were not all as expected.

In November the speaker will be Paula Dollan with an entertaining talk entitled 'A funny thing happened...'
