Olson and Folkers have a combined half century + of experience helping impacted communities, members of the media, elected and appointed officials and many others to understand ionizing radiation and its impacts on the human body and our environment. 

Both women have converged on looking at where radiation has disproportionate impacts--particularly impacts to girls and women. Both with peer-reviewed papers in hand, they decided it was time to teach. Our goal is to reach younger people, but the short courses are here for anyone for whom exploring radiation impacts from an independent perspective is personally important. Each class will be at least 3 hours of real-time engagement.

In part to signify commitment from the student, and in part to generate organizational income, fees are being charged on a sliding scale, $30--$300. This fund is to provide baseline funding for those who cannot pay $30. We will redistribute the income from participant fees across the sliding scale to $150 per participant, and supplement from this fund to meet that goal. 

The informal courses are not for credit--though the two are open to teaming up with others who could provide CME and credits for other types of ongoing certification requirements.

To start, three classes are being offered--depending on the interest, these may be repeated, and other offerings added. To see the current class line-up, click here.
