Drs. George Daniel and Helen Park of the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, (1953) state: "During the course of work on the effect of high energy radiation on protozoa it was observed that isolation cultures of Paramecium caudatum in a certain group of depression slides consistently produced a larger number of individuals than similar cultures in supposedly identical slides. Chance measurements showed that the former group of slides was slightly radioactive, while the other was not."
