Moved by the story of Alice Stewart, the epidemiologist who discovered that low-level radiation causes leukemia:

"It took them a decade of bitter bureaucratic battles to regain access to health records of the Hanford workers, but their work resulted in a series of studies which continued to suggest a cancer effect much higher than suggested by the A-Bomb research."

"Truth is the daughter of time," she liked to say.
