Nerd Interrupt(Ed) – The Radium Girls

In the 1920s, the “Radium Girls” were envied workers in watch-dial factories, literally glowing in the dark from the radioactive paint they used every day. But as they began to fall mysteriously ill, they realized they weren’t just painting watches—they were being poisoned by the very company that employed them.

Join us at Aqua & Acre for a look into one of the most significant (and heartbreaking) chapters in American scientific and legal history. We’ll look at the technique that sealed their fate and the heroic legal battle that paved the way for the safety standards we have today.
