Is it Radioactive?

Leif Norman discovers a Victorian Glass Vase

at the Winnipeg Art Gallery is slightly radioactive.

The Physics Department at the U of Winnipeg kindly lent Leif a 1950’s Geiger Counter

and Voila! Science!

Leif uses his Chemistry Degree in a useful way!

Watch the Video below for all the nerdy details.
