Radiation Research

The Radiation Research Society, which held its first meeting in New York City last April 15th, has been organized in recognition of the present need for better integration of the various scientific disciplines involved in the study of radiation effects. The council of the new society includes two representatives for each of the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine, and two additional members elected to represent science in general. The initial membership of the organization is over 250. Officers for 1952–53 are: Raymond E. Zirkle, president; Alexander Hollaender, vice president; Abraham Edelmann, secretary; and Harvey Patt, treasurer.
