About you (please use English):
I am an educator, advocate, facilitator and I have done an original analysis of the data from the Japanese A-Bomb Survivors, published by the National Academy of Science (NAS--US) in the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation, VII, asking the question: is gender a factor in radiation harm. My published paper: Atomic Radiation is More Harmful to Women answers that question.

Skills and track record:
I did original research 40 years ago; for 25 years I have been an educator, advocate and policy analyst. Five years ago I did an original, independent analysis of published data on radiation health impact. Since that time I have been applying my findings to wider questions. This broad-brush approach is for purposes of spurring dialog and hopefully further research.
