ARPSMag is the ARPS online magazine for member stories, branch updates, professional news, photos, reflections and lighter content from across the radiation protection community.
ARPSMag works best when it reflects the people, workplaces, branches, students, projects and practical experiences that make up the ARPS community.
Contributions do not need to be formal journal papers. Short updates, photos, conference reflections, project snapshots, workplace stories and member news are all welcome.
ARPSMag is a quarterly online publication incorporating social news and information that may be of interest to ARPS members.
It provides a less formal platform for showcasing individuals, corporate members, branch updates, committee activities and day-to-day experiences in radiation protection.
If you attended a conference, hosted a branch event, completed a student project, visited a facility, solved an interesting workplace problem, took a good photo, welcomed a new team member or have a short professional update, ARPSMag would like to hear from you.
