Great collaboration with INL!!!
Idaho National Lab@INLApr 7
.@INL researchers produced preclinical levels of scandium-47 (Sc-47) for a preclinical cancer trial @UUtah.⚛️ The breakthrough may enable future diagnostic and therapeutic uses of the isotope in #CancerTreatment. inl.gov/document/photonuclea… #Nuclear #Healthcare #NuclearMedicine

I've been assigned my first classroom with chalk.... I'm covered in chalk residue... and tips? Also what is a good color/brand that will show up clearly and erase well at the same time?
