Mary Olson, an expert in evolutionary biology focused on radiation health, and Amanda Nichols, a postdoctoral researcher studying women's roles in the anti-nuclear movement, dive deep into the disparities in radiation exposure. They reveal how ionizing radiation affects men and women differently, with women facing greater risks. The conversation challenges outdated health standards that neglect children and females. They also discuss the importance of gender representation in nuclear disarmament treaties and highlight alarming research that underscores the urgency for updated safety measures.
