Update #12 / The Arc of the Year
The GENDER AND RADIATION IMPACT PROJECT (GRIP) Board of Directors meets 3 or 4 times a year. The most recent meeting, in November is my favorite meeting in the cycle of the year--the Budget setting session. I am the executive side of this equation, and I love the group that is serving the organization as fiduciary. It is a real joy to think ahead and bring them my vision for the coming year.
GRIP is special. I have had my career, now, at 65 years old, it is all about supporting younger people and emerging leaders of any age, and doing work that NEEDS to be done. Particularly the items that anyone building a career would be nuts to undertake.
It is FUN! And, it is all about service.
I invite you to become part of this, by giving your support to this Project. In the coming year the work I am undertaking with Cindy Folkers of Beyond Nuclear will not be glamorous. There will be a lot of behind-the-scenes meetings, institutional fundraising and hopefully development of some new "heavy hitter" funders who I hope will step up for more than this project for GRIP and Beyond Nuclear. These pieces will build a foundation to go after a better understanding of internal exposures from living in radioactively contaminated areas.
If you want to take that step and join us with your support for 2024, you are so welcome! If you already have given to GRIP, thank you so much.
Looking forward to 2024! Join us.

In 2011, Mary Olson of Nuclear Information and Resource Service published an independent analysis of a National Academy of Sciences report which found that women suffer greater harm from radiation exposure than men.
The same year, the World Health Organization published a major report on the impact of the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan, which also found that girls will be disproportionately harmed by radiation.
These critical yet under-reported findings led to the creation of the Gender and Radiation Impact Project, a 501(c)3 educational and funding nonprofit that works at the intersection of public health, medicine, and public policy. We bring together top thinkers to understand the role biological sex plays in harm from radiation.
Join the Gender + Radiation Impact Project (GRIP) in jump-starting a five-year effort to broaden research on the impact of radiation to include girls, women and the entire human life-cycle.
GRIP is a start-up and must, for its tax-exempt status show interest from the public in its mission. Smaller gifts from many new supporters are VERY HELPFUL at this stage. Your networking very much appreciated. And, MAJOR support is alway welcome too! You are on our donation page now. Make your gift here, or see the "Off-line" info below.
