The Health Physics Society (HPS) Public Information Committee (PIC), in conjunction with Divine Media & Co., has finished the first short video for the Ask the Experts feature on the HPS website! This video covers risks to an unborn baby from medical x-ray procedures on the mother. The video has been posted and will be joined by the second video on risks from medical exposures soon. You can watch the first video on the Pregnancy and Radiation page in the ATE area of the HPS website.

The PIC will be filming several more videos this year, and we are looking for volunteers to participate. If you are interested, please contact Ali and Emily.

As always, the PIC is continuously looking for new and innovative ways to engage the public and provide useful, scientifically accurate, and understandable information. We welcome any suggestions from the HPS membership on activities we should consider undertaking, and if you are interested in being involved, please contact Ali.

The presentation of videos on the ATE area of the HPS website is an important communication tool that has been discussed for many years. We're appreciative of President Nolan Hertel's support for the effort and the talent and hard work of the PIC for this achievement.
