Question:
When a nuclear reactor explodes, a great plume of radioactive isotopes erupts into the air and may spread for thousands of miles. Most of the isotopes emitted immediately following the blast are of the element iodine. Which of the glands of the endocrine system would be most seriously -and immediately-affected by exposure to the isotopes, and how do you think this will become evident in the nearby population?

I love tutoring. I love doing it. I find it intrinsically satisfying to see the light come on in a student's eyes.
My first math lesson that I taught was when I was 5. My neighbor, still in diapers, kept skipping 4 when counting from 1 to 10. I worked with him until he could get all 10 numbers in a row, and match them up with his fingers.
My students drastically improve under my tutelage, generally seeing a two grade level improvement (F to C, C to A, for example), and all of them get a much clearer understanding!
I am committed to helping my students get the top grades no matter the cost. I will take extra hours with you, repeat myself a thousand times if I have to and guide you to the best of my ability until you understand the concept that I'm teaching you.
