The Advanced Photon Source is a powerful scientific facility. The ultrabright X-rays it generates are used by more than 5,500 scientists each year to create stronger materials, build more efficient batteries, and help develop vaccines and treatments for infectious diseases. Lead shielding is used extensively in the facility, and a recent upgrade included removing all lead materials. Isabella planned and managed the lead surface sampling strategy. She trained sampling professionals to collect lead surface samples and directed their daily activities. Her efforts ensured lead-contaminated equipment was effectively cleaned and lead exposure was controlled.
