Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE)

The Million Person Study of Low-Dose-Rate Health Effects (MPS) is one of the largest radiation occupational studies designed specifically to provide understanding of late health effects from chronic radiation exposures. The MPS has published more than 100 articles to date in the peer-reviewed scientific literature and is implemented by a team of radiation scientists using consistent epidemiologic methods while following precise dosimetry guidelines for determining organ-specific radiation doses from low-LET (linear energy transfer) external radiation, neutrons, and intakes of radionuclides. 

Dr. Leo Francis Talbott, a pioneer in nuclear physics, was ORISE’s first-known research program participant and inspired the world and future generations through his passion for STEM. At ORISE, Talbott will be remembered as a significant success story in our enduring history of science education and workforce development missions.

Students from around Tennessee got a hands-on introduction to the exciting world of artificial intelligence at the A.I. Mini Academy hosted by ORISE. The two-day program welcomed rising 7th to 9th graders with curious minds and no required experience.

Learn about the STAR interview method--a format for answering behavioral-based interview questions. It helps interviewees summarize their skills and experience by providing examples of how they performed in specific situations.
