Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

Session Chair:
Uchenna Ezibe (Senior Manager, STEM Programs)
The ANS Nuclear Ambassador program equips individuals in the nuclear industry to conduct nuclear science education and outreach in classrooms, public events and conferences, informal learning settings like afterschool and summer programs, and other environments where youth can receive STEM enrichment. The program also provides individuals with presentations, STEM kits, activities, and a variety of virtual and physical resources to enhance their outreach efforts. Join this session to receive a shortened version of our training and learn how to share the world of nuclear science and technology with students in your community and beyond.
