I spend all my working hours in the midst of approx 700 refugee men.

I am treated with respect. I have not felt scared or threatened.

This narrative of hate has to stop.

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, what an incredible guy… “ he chose not to patent X-rays for personal gain and remained humble in the face of his monumental achievement”

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Hand of an X-ray Technician at the Royal London Hospital in the 1900s.

Physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen unveiled one of the most significant breakthroughs in medical history with the discovery of X-rays. While experimenting with cathode light's ability to penetrate glass, Röntgen noticed an unexplained glow emanating from a nearby screen. Fascinated, he named this mysterious light "X-rays."

X-rays are electromagnetic waves similar to light, but with wavelengths 1,000 times shorter. Röntgen soon realized their remarkable ability to penetrate flesh while being absorbed by bones, leading to their immediate recognition as a medical marvel.

Although the usefulness of X-rays was swiftly recognized, the harmful effects of radiation were not initially understood. It was only later, as X-ray equipment operators began falling ill with conditions like cancer, that the dangers of radiation poisoning became apparent.

During the Balkan War, X-rays were first employed in battle to locate bullets and identify fractures. In recognition of his groundbreaking discovery, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. Remarkably, he chose not to patent X-rays for personal gain and remained humble in the face of his monumental achievement.

The accompanying image portrays a severely damaged hand, resulting from the practice of testing X-ray machines by capturing an X-ray image of the technician's hand. At the time, the immense radiation exposure involved was not fully comprehended.

Exposure to certain levels of radiation can cause harm to the human body and prove fatal when the dosage is sufficiently high.

@SenatorKeogan @DonnellyStephen Not for the people. At least your honest. 👍

Around 100 people attended a ‘Rally Against Hate’ in Navan in Co Meath this afternoon in a show of support and solidarity for the 14-year-old boy assaulted earlier this week and to say people “will not tolerate any form of hate crime in the town” @RTENews

@rtenews It would be fitting to have Eithne moored in the town of Cobh as a visitor attraction. She was built in the town and spent her career with Cork Harbour as her home. She is part of our history @JamesOConnorTD @MichealMartinTD @davidstantontd @LeoVaradkar @Corkcoco

[LIL RED'S LEGACY - SEPSIS AWARENESS ❤ @LILREDSLEGACY]

Sepsis is a common and potentially life-threatening condition triggered by an infection which causes the body’s immune system to go into overdrive. Raising awareness is imperative.
Early Recognition and Rapid Treatment are the keys to surviving Sepsis

@NolullabyJohn @halftwottered Hatred, bitterness, intolerance and anti everything whipping up fear and hate will result in nothing ever changing for the better. It will serve only to protect the richest is society. Protect the vulnerable rather than unwittingly protecting the wealthiest in society 👍
