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:
Andrew Smith (Director of Communications, ANS)
Keeping audience attention attuned to the most accurate nuclear technology and radiation information is perhaps the single biggest meta-challenge we face as a community of professionals. What can we do to build and maintain effective external communications in a fast-paced, ever-changing world? Join us for a lively panel discussion about the role of the nuclear community in improving nuclear literacy.
