Plant research, photographs, 1976
Scope and Contents
The Surbecks funded a research project in which low level radio frequency energy was applied to cancerous mice and the effect measured by tumor growth and health of the specimen. All mouse experiment activity took place at the South Dakota School of Mines laboratory. In Palo Alto, California, the Surbecks received daily reports of the readings and Robert DeVries plotted this data on a computer.
This series is restricted until 2019. Student and patient records are also restricted according to HIPAA and FERPA regulations.
