Episode Description

Thank you for joining us for another episode of OccPod, ACOEM’s official podcast. This is the first episode of our new series, “Mysteries in Occupational and Environmental Medicine,” where we use artificial intelligence to bring historical moments to life and reflect on theirimpact today.

In this episode, Dr. Nabeel is joined by “Grace Fryer,” one of the Radium Girls whose courage and persistence helped spark lasting change in workplace safety. Her story reminds us how far we’ve come—and how important it is to keep protecting the health and safety of every worker.
