Alchemists have been trying to make gold out of other elements for centuries. Can nuclear science finally make this dream a reality? Join nuclear alchemist Candace Davison as she explores nuclear science’s approach to making “gold," how nuclear transmutation works, and the many ways we benefit from this process. During this Educator Training webinar, she shares activities and resources to teach transmutation concepts, including the Radioactivity Game, Chart of the Nuclides, and the ANS Isotope Discovery App.
