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.
This month's Radio(active) Waves is revisiting a previous subject to celebrate Black History Month. We have been graciously granted permission to release this episode using audio from an oral history that Professor Jeffries did in 1987. Join us as we learn more about this interesting and insightful man in his own words.

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.
