	Louis Harold Gray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Louis Harold Gray (10 November 1905 - 9 July 1965) was a British physicist who worked mainly on the effects of radiation on biological systems, inventing the field of radiobiology as he went.
		Harold's mother was good with her hands and from her he learned to wallpaper, bake and sew; an aunt showed him how to make a bookshelf out of old wooden crates.
		Gray had to discontinue his research at Hammersmith Hospital in 1954 due to personal differences with the clinic directorship.2 He then returned to Mount Vernon Hospital in Northwood, where the world's first radiobiological institute was built according to his plans.

		Louis Harold Grey obtained his PhD at the Cavendish Laboratory under Rutherford at a time when the laboratory was a world centre for fundamental research in nuclear physics.
		In a 1940 paper, Gray and Read employed their energy unit, "that amount of neutron radiation which produces an increment of energy in unit volume of tissue equal to the increment of energy produced in unit volume of water by one röntgen of radiation".
		Gray was Vice Chairman of the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) from 1956 to 1962, and assisted in the formation of the IARR.

	Gray (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gray (symbol: Gy) is the SI unit of absorbed dose.
		To avoid any risk of confusion between the absorbed dose and the equivalent dose, one must use the corresponding special units, namely the gray instead of the joule per kilogram for absorbed dose and the sievert instead of the joule per kilogram for the dose equivalent.
		The Gray was defined in 1975 in honor of Louis Harold Gray (1905-1965), who used a similar concept, “that amount of neutron radiation which produces an increment of energy in unit volume of tissue equal to the increment of energy produced in unit volume of water by one röntgen of radiation,” in 1940.

		The urge to meet with his fellow men for their mutual benefit by discussion of matters of science was characteristic also of Hal Gray.
		The twentieth-century Gray (also a product of Trinity College, Cambridge) was reared in an age when the cult of specialisation for learning more and more about less and less was at its most fashionable.
		Gray and the few others of his ilk by some instinctive process foresaw that escape from this confinement depended on those with sufficient breadth of understanding somehow encompassing the new philosophies of the the twentieth century and synthesising the advances of physical, chemical and biological sciences into new concepts.

	Bookslut \| Louis Riel by Chester Brown
		The history of Louis Riel and of the Métis Rebellion is probably new to most non-Canadian readers.
		Much has been made of the artistic style that Chester Brown uses in Louis Riel, which is reminiscent of both Harold Gray’s work on Little Orphan Annie and of Herge’s Tintin (the former of which Brown acknowledges as his chief influence).
		It’s especially interesting to read Louis Riel after having previously read Osamu Tezuka’s Buddha -- a heavily fictionalized version of Siddhartha’s life, which can’t really be considered a “biography” even in the non-academic (though certainly scholarly) sense of Louis Riel.

		Gray's career coincided with the heyday of serial storytelling; appropriately, he wrapped his political message in suspenseful installments that drew audiences into a world of intrigue and danger.

		The ability of the radiation to deposit energy per unit mass of the target material is defined as the "radiation dose." It is expressed in grays, or Gy (in honor of Louis Harold Gray, 1905–1965, the British physician who was an authority on the use of radiation in the treatment of cancer).
		One gray equals 1 joule of deposited energy per kilogram of the target material.
		An older, similar unit, still in widespread use, is the rad (radiation absorbed dose), which is equal to 100 ergs per gram.
