Description
Born in war, nuclear science was first revealed to the world in horror. The Cold War, power plant disasters, and current political tensions continue to play into people’s fears of everything nuclear. Overcoming this perspective often feels like an almost insurmountable task. This talk will focus on strategies to lower the barrier in speaking of nuclear science to the general public including the author’s public scholarship endeavors.
