So I managed to make a lecture of this today - strangely it's the 9a.m. one I made, not the 12p.m. but anyway according to the lecturer

What exactly does "ionising radiation" mean/cover in this context? *interested*

(Kit here, btw. I friended you, hope you don't mind!)

From the font of all knowledge.

Thanks - I thought that was the definition, I was just surprised by the claim that ionising radiation hasn't been shown to cause hereditary damage! It's one of those bits of folk science that everyone thinks they know, I guess...

Hmm. Presumably this means that things like the Bikini Atoll jellyfish babies are the result of exposure to high radiation levels in utero, rather than of actual changes in parental gametes?

I think attempting to apply actual Science to comic books is generally doomed to failure.
