    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.

    Don’t Change Color Kitty

    Episode 14: Don’t Change Color Kitty Description: This month David takes Anna on a fascinating journey into the difficulties of warning humans (or whatever may come next) about the dangers of radioactive waste sites. 10,000 years in the future, permanent waste sites will still be hazardous and finding a way to communicate this has left scientists with a philosophical, semiotic, and linguistic conundrum. Join us for this surprisingly lighthearted episode to find out why you too should be afraid of color changing cats! 🙀 Please feel free to contact us at info@nuclearmuseum.org and you can find the Ray Cat song here: https://youtu.be/amn3kn0XPLQ

    The Lavender Scare

    In this month’s episode of the podcast, Anna talks to David about Queer History and the Lavender Scare. This McCarthy era campaign aimed to remove people with same-sex attraction from positions with security clearance in the government and military. Although this campaign was not active until the 1950s, there is evidence that Manhattan Project veterans would have been affected by these policies. Come along and learn a bit about how this history affects the modern nuclear industry! For questions and comments please feel free to contact us at info@nuclearmuseum.org.
