ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

Topic: Side Projects that Took Off Have you ever had a side project or idea that you wanted to take to the next level? Or wondered how a project grew the way it did? This panel will bring together members of the Mathematics and Computation community to discuss how side projects can grow into mature projects. Panelists will discuss projects they’ve seen successfully make this transition. We’ll be discussing best practices and lessons learned from their experiences with side projects. Join us to gain insights and inspiration for turning your own ideas into impactful, thriving projects. The questions we hope to discuss in panel include: • What inspired you to start working on the project? • How did you make time for your side project? • Was there an event or call that helped it “take off” to where it is now? • How did you get buy in from colleagues and collaborators? Did you feel like you were supported in your endeavors? • How would you encourage future colleagues to go about starting their own side projects? Panelists will discuss these topics in conversation with the moderator and the audience.
To join the conversation, you must be logged in and registered for the meeting.
