   Elaine Collins, an assistant professor of chemistry, has students in some of her classes use the facility to study radioisotopes, a radioactive form of a chemical element.
   
   "One to two classes before, we talk about radioisotopes, their uses, safety devices, safety clothing," Collins said.
   ...
   Collins said the training addresses preconceptions and worries students may have about working with radioactive material.
   
   "We let them know how low it is," she said.

   Collins said she has graduate students working with her on research into the way vitamin D works in the body.
