Scientific illustrator? Someone please tell me what is scientific about this site. No mention of the actual amount of radiation that was released at TMI, which was miniscule compared to normal background radiation that is present all the time. Yeah, lets go find some bugs with spots, assume that the spots are caused by radiation from a nuclear plant, and call it scientific. Get educated people!!
- yannis 17y agoShe did quite a bit of work at Chernobyl as well. For 25 years she worked as a scientific illustrator for the scientific department of the Natural History Museum at the University of Zurich (she did illustrations of the effect of X-rays on fruit fly experiments). She tried to present the impact that low levels of radiation are having on the occurrence of mutations within insect populations in her book. Granted her site is not web 2.0 and the diagrams do not do justice to her work, but this is no reason to be dismissive. Are you aware of any studies that the radiation released did not have an impact on the insect population?
