Presented by the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History. For those who just can't get enough of our nuclear history and science resources. The podcast focuses on all things atomic, nuclear, and radioactive and has some interesting surprises from our collections storage. Our aim is to delve into the fascinating world of the "Atomic Age" through the lens of the Museum's collections and connections. The podcast will feature interviews, histories, and insights on topics like the Manhattan project, artifacts from the collection, and the differences between nuclear fact and fiction.

Interview Series: Dr Milo Schield, Statistical Literacy
For our December podcast, Radio(active) Waves had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Milo Schield. Dr. Schield is a consultant with the University of New Mexico, has a Ph.D. in Space Physics from Rice University, and is active in the world of academic statistics. Join David and Anna as we learn more about Dr. Schield’s mission within his field. Statistical Literacy can help to answer questions about the way that statistics help (and hinder) us when navigating a modern world filled with data and offers us clues about the way that statistics may have affected the public view of the nuclear industry.

Interview Series: Danielle Redhouse, Nuclear Engineer
For this month’s podcast, we decided to do something a little bit different. David scheduled some really amazing programming for Nuclear Science Week, and he was able to conduct a fascinating interview with a professional working in the nuclear industry. We thought that it would be a great opportunity for us to share with you what Danielle Redhouse had to say about her unique profession working for Sandia National Laboratories. If you have ever been interested in what it’s like to work as a nuclear engineer, this is the episode for you!
Here are the videos that were played during the original event so that you can take a look for yourself:
