Is it time to go back on our nuclear-free stance? Power bills will be rising soon, the Commerce Commission allowing Transpower and local lines companies to raise their prices to avoid worse hikes further down the road. The average household bill is set to increase by $10 a month in April, and by $5 a month for the following four years. New Zealand has had a firm nuclear-free stance since 1987, but could introducing nuclear power be the solution to our power struggles? Dr David Krofcheck, Senior Lecturer in Nuclear Physics at Auckland University, told Matt Heath and Tyler Adams that nuclear power generation is a lot safer than people assume. He says the disasters that occurred in places like Fukushima and Chernobyl are abnormal events, and not the standard path for the operation of nuclear power plants. Renewables currently provide 82% of New Zealand's electricity needs, and 40% of our total primary energy, but despite their clean nature, there is still an issue with intermittency. Krofcheck says that he'd love for New Zealand to be open to nuclear to provide baseline power, since it would mitigate the intermittency problem.

A cryogenics technician and nuclear physicist are our podcast guests

Scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) have proposed using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to reconstruct particle tracks in high-energy physics experiments. The researchers have developed a deep neural network that was trained using simulated particle collisions and was able to accurately reconstruct particle tracks. They suggest that the first experiment where the AI algorithms could be utilized is the MUon ON Electron elastic scattering experiment, which aims to improve the precision of certain physical parameters. If successful, this could mark a new era in particle detection techniques and enhance our understanding of fundamental particles. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message

His story provides inspiration for professionals considering a switch into the accounting field later in their careers. Based on lessons learned from two purchases, Paul shares recommendations around valuation, retention planning, obtaining past tax returns, and avoiding platform transfer issues.  Paul advocates for purchase terms with retention clauses and revenue thresholds to create wins for both buyers and sellers over the long term. These kinds of deals enable smooth transitions when buying remotely. Paul understood the value of developing symbiotic referral relationships with professionals who provide complementary services. By establishing connections with a bankruptcy attorney and tax resolution specialist, Paul was able to benefit from steady sources of new client referrals. The bankruptcy attorney began regularly referring Paul to new clients who needed assistance getting their tax filings up to date.  Early in his career, Paul worked for almost a decade as a diesel mechanic. This hands-on industry experience gave him in-depth familiarity with tools and supply franchise models. So when the opportunity arose for Paul to acquire a tax practice with multiple Snap On Tools franchisee clients, he leveraged his unique background knowledge to quickly build rapport and craft tailored offerings.  By specializing in providing bookkeeping, tax preparation, and advisory services for franchisees in tool distribution, Paul and his team gained efficiencies through dealing with repetitive client situations. They were able to streamline and systematize their processes to enable smoother operations and higher profitability within this niche target market. Paul highlights the game-changing capabilities of client portals coupled with tools like Quickbooks Online for smoothly exchanging documents and keeping projects on track in virtual engagements. Paul Kluskowski's unique professional background has fueled his ability to deliver specialized services in accounting and tax preparation for niche client groups.

For the past 40 years, Tom Ramos has been a physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). For the past few years Tom has been conducting research and writing a history of the early years of the Cold War, and the nuclear weapons program of LLNL. Through interviews with historical figures and with extensive research into top secret archives, he has brought out new perspectives of the Cold War that have been little understood until now. His efforts were rewarded with the publication of his book, From Berkeley to Berlin.Tom created several programs in the 1990s that served the Defense Department. Most notable among them, starting with a $200K grant, Tom created the Counterproliferation Analysis and Planning System (CAPS), which helped military operators analyze facilities manufacturing weapons of mass destruction in hostile countries. The program grew into a $46M a year enterprise and was declared to be the Defense Department's premier counterproliferation program by Secretary of Defense William Cohen. Another significant program that Tom started was the Homeland Defense Operational Planning System (HOPS), a program like CAPS, but steered towards analyses to protect America's critical infrastructure.In the 1980's Tom was a nuclear weapons designer in the Laboratory's X-Ray Laser Program, which supported President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. In the program's last nuclear test, Tom led a team of physicists who designed the program's brightest laser. In the late 1980s Tom joined a committee helping to prepare the government for START negotiations and he prepared a daily summary sheet for the Secretary of Energy to use at NSC meetings on the resumption of START Talks. Later Tom was assigned to the Pentagon as the legislative affairs officer for the Congressionally mandated Nuclear Weapons Council. Tom's duties included preparing the Council for Congressional hearings.Prior to joining the Laboratory, and after graduating from West Point and MIT, Tom served as a combat engineer and was later an associate professor of physics at West Point, New York, where he taught each of the physics department's core courses, as well as electives in Quantum Mechanics and Nuclear Physics.EPISODE NOTES:Follow NucleCast on Twitter at @NucleCastEmail comments and story suggestions to NucleCast@anwadeter.orgSubscribe to NucleCast podcastRate the show

Their contrasting and exciting answers invite listeners to ponder their own celestial dream destinations and emphasize the boundless intrigue that our universe holds. Relationship between Cosmic Radiation and Earthquakes In this fascinating segment, the correlation between secondary cosmic radiation and the intensity of earthquakes is explored. While the study from the Polish Academy of Sciences suggests that there is a connection between these two phenomena, it's essential to note that cosmic rays do not directly cause earthquakes. Instead, changes in the Earth's magnetic field due to disturbances in the planet's core allow more cosmic radiation to penetrate, which might enhance the effect of an earthquake. This incredible connection reveals how various elements in the universe can be interconnected and demonstrates once again the mysterious nature of our world and the cosmos. Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson delve into this phenomenon and clarify that the study focused on the correlation between the changes in the magnetic field and the movement of particles in primary cosmic radiation. They discuss how these alterations are dependent on the dynamics of disturbances within the Earth, which in turn affects the magnetic field. This conversation showcases the complexities of the Earth's magnetic field and offers an interesting insight into a potential connection between cosmic radiation and earthquakes. Understanding these correlations could have significant implications for predicting future earthquakes and other potential natural disasters.

Little did Jim know that his next assignment would be overseeing a gathering of 1,500 people in New York. Determined to rise to the challenge, Jim embraced the opportunity with gusto, marking the beginning of his 20-year-long career in the meeting industry. Simultaneously, his boss introduced him to a new technology—an IBM PC, the only one in the organization. Intrigued, Jim began exploring the possibilities and taught himself database management. That marked the beginning of his second career as he transitioned into teaching and became a go-to expert in the industry. Over the years, Jim's passion for technology and teaching led him to join NYU as an instructor specializing in event technology. By the late 1990s, he realized that teaching technology could be his calling. In 1999, he embarked on a journey that continues to this day.  Things were different back in the 1980s During the 1980s, the landscape of events and meetings was distinctively different. While there were occasional events that required Secret Service involvement, such as gatherings with Nobel laureates, most of the meetings were comprised of everyday individuals. What should we be thinking about AI technology? We need to embrace technology as a tool that can be used for both positive and negative purposes. Technology, including AI, is neither inherently good nor bad because its use and application determine its impact. On the positive side, technology has advanced medical research and scientific understanding, allowing for the processing and utilization of vast amounts of information. However, it also has the potential to influence people's beliefs and narratives.  Job security Some jobs may be lost, and some gained, as technology evolves. AI, like ChatGPT, is a tool that can process information quickly and engage in conversations, which can blur the line between human and AI interaction.  The impact of AI on the industry The hotel and large business sectors already understand the power of AI for analyzing customer data and improving decision-making. However, the future influence of AI on the meeting industry is still uncertain.  Looking ahead In the future, organizations will utilize compartmentalized AI to scrape and combine information to create personalized content. However, it will be essential to address any biases in AI systems.  AI as a complement to human intelligence AI should be seen as a complement to human intelligence because it allows the generation of nuanced and valuable insights when used together with human input. Productivity for business owners Jim realizes the potential of AI for business owners but acknowledges its imperfections. He explains that AI, like ChatGPT, is generative and does not access the internet for information. It operates on what it has learned from a specific dataset and predicts the next word based on context and the question asked without having comprehensive knowledge. So, to utilize AI effectively, it is crucial to ask the right questions and not expect AI to possess all-encompassing knowledge. Coding There is currently a shortage of coders. Jim focuses on teaching people to use low-code tools that allow them to build apps without extensive coding knowledge. However, those tools will not eliminate the need for coders because quality control, nuanced tasks, and proper integration still require coding expertise.  A most exciting time Jim is enthusiastic about the current tech landscape and considers this time the most exciting time for consumers since the emergence of search engines 25 to 30 years ago! A challenge for business owners It is challenging for business owners to scale their organizations when involved in day-to-day tasks. That is why they should focus instead on raising capital, understanding marketing and sales, and finding the right people to handle those areas. Jim believes management issues are not only technology-related but also a constant challenge across generations. Business owners need a good understanding of technology and its potential to guide their teams in utilizing it effectively. It is also crucial for them to provide the necessary resources, whether internal or external, for their teams to learn and implement new technologies.  A delicate balance A delicate balance is required for business owners to allow their teams space while staying involved enough to provide guidance and direction based on their knowledge. Jim encourages business owners to be aware and informed about technology but avoid excessive micromanagement. Certificates Jim holds a certificate from Cornell that does not directly relate to meetings and events. He recognizes the challenges of obtaining certificates and diplomas and acknowledges their value.  Jim's health journey Jim experienced health issues that involved battling heart disease and struggling with excess weight over the past seven years. Through extensive research and scientific findings, he discovered the immense benefits of embracing a plant-based lifestyle that includes more than just dietary choices. It also involves stress reduction, sufficient sleep, and a holistic approach to well-being.  Engaging with the plant-based community Jim engages actively in the plant-based community. He collaborates with organizations and delivers presentations on his own transformative experience. He is particularly excited about the Jewish Veg Jumpstarters, where he guides participants through a 21-day program focusing on the health advantages of a plant-based lifestyle and its impact on society and the environment. Jim and his team provide the participants with essential resources, scientific evidence, and mentorship, empowering them to adopt positive changes and incorporate them into their lives according to their preferences. Jim's passion for promoting healthy lifestyles While Jim thoroughly enjoys teaching technology, he is also passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles and educating others on the importance of proper nutrition. Inspired by his personal journey, he has merged his tech expertise with health information to create an app that features 400 plant-based recipes. The importance of pursuing passions  Jim firmly believes in the significance of pursuing passions and embracing diverse interests. Rather than limiting oneself to a single endeavor, he advocates for integrating various aspects of life to cultivate a fulfilling and enriching existence. Whether it involves teaching technology, advocating for healthy living, or exploring other areas of interest, Jim remains dedicated to making a positive impact and empowering others to lead healthier and happier lives!

This episode rounds out three sessions focused on physics. Today we're learning about the incredibly precise conditions required for life to exist in our universe. From the strength of gravity to the properties of carbon or water to the beauty of math and the stars, Pastor Will Barlow enumerates several key ways in which the cosmos is finely-tuned to support life. Next he covers several of the common responses atheists put forward to explain this incredible precision. Barlow briefly responds to each before concluding that the God hypothesis fits the best.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— What is fine-tuning? Fine-tuning is the idea that the existence of life on Earth is due to remarkably precise “settings” in the natural world. • Example: baking a cake vs. baking a “fine-tuned” cake• Example: Finding a watch in a forest Fine-tuning in Scripture Romans 1:20   For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Categories of fine-tuning • Cosmological• Properties of carbon and water• Beauty in math, physics, and nature Cosmological fine-tuning Example One: The Balance between forces • A 1% change in the strong nuclear force would have a 30-1,000 fold impact on oxygen and carbon production in stars• Small changes to gravity would make large life impossible• The balance between gravity and electromagnetism allows for gentler yellow stars like our Sun “The expansion speed, the material content of the universe, and the strengths of the basic forces, seem to have been a prerequisite for the emergence of the hospitable cosmic habitat in which we live.”-Martin Rees, physicist and skeptic Example Two: The Balance between other quantities • The proportion of hydrogen converted to helium• Nuclear physics is precisely designed to produce enough carbon to support life• The existence of supernovas lead to second and third generation stars capable of supporting life• A specific variable, called the “phase-space volume” appears to be fine-tuned to one part in 10,000,000,000^123 (1 followed by 10^123 zeros)• The expansion rate of the Universe is perfect for life• The amount of dark energy appears to be fine-tuned to 1 part in 10^120 Example Three: Earth's place in the Universe • The size of the Earth is perfect to support life• The moon supports the Earth's axial tilt, which makes Earth's climate stable• The moon runs the tides, which help moderate the climate• The moon protects the Earth from asteroid strikes, comets, etc.• The Sun is the right kind of star to support life• The Earth is in the right “zone” in its orbit around the Sun to support lifeProperties of carbon and water Example One: Carbon • Carbon forms stable compounds - is the only element able to produce DNA and RNA• Carbon can store more genetic information than any other element Example Two: Water • Universal solvent• Frozen water less dense than liquid water, which preserves life in ponds and makes the water cycle more efficient• The water cycle allows water to moderate the temperature of landlocked regions• High latent heat allows small bodies of water to exist and support life• Surface tension allows for water skiing (and more importantly, for capillary action) Beauty in math, physics, and nature • F = m * a• E = m * c^2• F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2 Why are these elegant equations true? Beauty in math, physics, and nature A powerful example: Eclipses • The apparent size of the moon and the apparent size of the Sun are essentially identical!• There is no reason why this must be the case• Beauty and discovery The existence of God How do atheists respond to fine-tuning? • Richard Dawkins uses the WAP (weak anthropic principle)• Basically, WAP asserts that we would not be here to marvel the fine-tuning of the Universe, unless the Universe existed as it did. "In essence, the weak anthropic principle wrongly asserts that the statement of a necessary condition of an event eliminates the need for a causal explanation of that event. Oxygen is a necessary condition of fire, but saying so does not provide a causal explanation of the San Francisco fire. Similarly, the fine tuning of the physical constants of the universe is a necessary condition for the existence of life, but that does not explain, or eliminate the need to explain, the origin of fine tuning.” • Victor Stenger attacks fine-tuning several ways • He argues that carbon (for example) is a natural consequence of the scientific order• He also says that the Universe is mostly uninhabitable - maybe not as fine-tuned as we thought! How to respond to Stenger? • Carbon still came from nuclear reactions as given by the conditions of the laws of physics we have - it could have been different• The Universe is not a waste of space - tells the story of God and is a place for us to explore Three further objections to fine-tuning: • Observational Selection Effect• Problems with Probability• Naturalistic Explanations What does fine-tuning say about the existence of God?I believe that the Universe was fine-tuned for life.While this is not direct evidence for God, I think the existence of God fits the evidence far better than any other option.

This week I am speaking with one half of Sydney-based international award-winning design studio PAPPAS ALEXIOU, Charles Alexiou. Having trained originally in Nuclear Physics and Applied Mathematics, Charles had a former career in investment banking and software design.

The Field Guide to Particle Physics : Season 3https://pasayten.org/the-field-guide-to-particle-physics©2022 The Pasayten Institute cc by-sa-4.0The definitive resource for all data in particle physics is the Particle Data Group: https://pdg.lbl.gov.The Pasayten Institute is on a mission to build and share physics knowledge, without barriers! Get in touch.The PositronThe positron is the antiparticle partner to the electron.Ostensibly, positrons have the same mass as the electron, around 511 keV.  They also have the same electric charge - at least up to a minus sign. The positron is of course positively charged.Positrons also carry equal and opposite magnetic dipole moments to the electron: that little magnetic field carried often carried by elementary particles.Like the electron, positrons are stable. They do not decay. But of course, we don't see may of them around. When electrons and positrons collide, they annihilate each other! That is, they convert into a pair of photons, each with 511 keV of energy. Because it is *extremely* rare for photons to interact with each other, this reaction almost never goes in reverse, which explains why positrons don't accumulate here on Earth.As you might be aware, the matter to antimatter ratio of our universe is way out of whack - which is great for us! - but makes it a little hard to study antimatter particles like the positron.Sources of PositronsSome positrons are produced by the decay of cosmogenic muons - or antimuons, more precisely - that are formed when the pi-plus - the positively charged pion  decays. Those pions are in turn produced in collisions with cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere. Sometimes positrons are produced in nuclear decays, like an antimatter version of beta decay. Fluorine-18 - which has 9 protons and 9 neutrons - is one such unstable nucleus. Oxygen-15 - which has 8 protons and 7 neutrons is another. A more exotic case is Rubidium-82,  which forms when a strontium-82 nucleus absorbs an electron, converting one of its 38-protons into a neutron. Rubidium-82 then decays by positron emission, converting another proton to a neutron, resulting in the noble gas Krypton-82.Because the mass of the neutron is higher than that of the proton, positron emission is a form of radioactive beta decay that requires *extra* input energy, which is typically supplied by the remainder of the nucleus. It's a curious concept that we'll come back to in a future episode.In medicineBecause the photons emitted by the annihilation of a positron-electron pair have a very specific energy, scientific instruments can be calibrated to detect them. Positron Emission Topography is an imaging technique that specifically looks for these pairs of 511 keV photons - these gamma rays if you like. By injecting a radioactive substance that decays by positron emission, PET devices back calculate the gamma ray trajectories to build a three-dimensional model of whatever that tracer was injected into. Typically the human body!Fluorine-18, oxygen-15 and rubidium-82 are manufactured by particle accelerator for direct use in medical PET imaging. Sometimes those accelerators are RIGHT INSIDE THE MEDICAL FACILITY. That's right. Particle physics isn't just for lab rats or abstruse aloof theorists. It's crucial for medicine too! You can be a medical doctor AND study particle physics.PositroniumFinally, electrons and positrons can form a bound state - an atom if you like - called positronium. Positronium doesn't last very long - typically it decays by annihilation into an assorted number of gamma rays in a time that's measured in nanoseconds .The precise dynamics of positronium decay is a well studied science used in precision tests of quantum electrodynamics. We'll learn more about positronium later this season!

Inspired by the 1950s and 1960s, modernism, Charles and his business partner, award-winning Architect Lam Pappas, created MCM Homes to bring back forgotten design ideas and decades of innovation to the Australian market. Utilising these great ideas with improved contemporary building materials and refined building techniques, these universal design ideas have been cleverly re-awakened in the MCM Homes and Granny Flats to create their own brand of avant-garde modernist homes, but operating with the primary goal to reduce any risk in the process and make it as simple and effortless as possible for their clients. With a background in Nuclear Physics, Applied Mathematics, and a long and distinguished former career in Investment Banking and Software Design, Charles is uniquely positioned in keeping project costs to a minimum whilst reducing risk and adding value to clients' property and maximising their return on investment.  In this episode, you'll discover: Why your zone of genius is the key to creativity How design induces a specific emotional state A career based around your passion not what you're told you're good at A new perspective on the old adage of a builder vs. designer How the design profession will evolve over the coming years And more Resources Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.

Growing up, Jada Yuan didn't realize how famous her grandmother was in the world of physics. In this episode, Jada talks to Emily about the life of physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, whom Jada got to know much better while writing the article Discovering Dr. Wu for the Washington Post, where she is a reporter covering culture and politics.Check out part one in which Emily talks to Short Wave's scientist-in-residence about how Chien-Shiung Wu altered physics. She made a landmark discovery in 1956 about how our universe operates at the tiniest levels. Email the show at shortwave@npr.org.

In the 1950's, a particle physicist made a landmark discovery that changed what was known about how the universe operates. Chien-Shiung Wu did it while raising a family and an ocean away from her relatives in China. Short Wave's Scientist-In-Residence Regina Barber joins host Emily Kwong to talk about that landmark discovery—what it meant for the physics world, and what it means to Regina personally as a woman and a Chinese and Mexican American in physics.

In this, our final episode of season 2, Dan chats with Dr. Timothy Persons, the chief scientist and one of the managing directors for the Government Accountability Office. We don't often think about this part of the US government, but they do the essential behind the scenes work of offering scientific, economic, and sociological insight, oversight and foresight into all policies and laws put forward by congress. Dr. Persons holds degrees Nuclear Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, and Executive Leadership and offers us an insightful look into what faithfulness looks like in the worlds of science and public policy. In this secular age, Dr. Persons reminds us that "we live in miracles... science should engender awe because it points us to something bigger." Connect with us!

Dr Tzany Kokalova Wheldon enjoyed an impressive early career in academia, gaining a doctorate in Natural Sciences and working in nuclear physics in Germany. Following the tragic loss of her unborn son at 5 months, a harrowing experience that Tzany describes as shaping her life going forwards, she decided to take an extended career break after the birth of her twin boys a few years later, so that she could dedicate time to being with them during their early years.  When her boys were 3, she decided the time was right to return to her career but found that the gap in her CV meant that she kept getting pipped at the post at the final round. Her bridge back came in the form of the Daphne Jackson Fellowship, a 2 year part time programme supporting researchers to return to work after a career break for family, caring or health reasons. Today, Tzany is a Reader in Nuclear Physics and works as Director of the Positron Imaging Centre at the University of Birmingham. In 2020, she won a Timewise Power Returner Award, celebrating her ability to combine career success at a senior level whilst working flexibly.  “The biggest thing is to show that even after a three and a half year career break, you can go back to lead, lead the field, and do research like the colleagues around you” Hear how Tzany found her way back to her career as a nuclear physicist, balancing time to be with her precious boys with leading once again in her field, as well as helping other women return to their careers in science.   Subscribe for free on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3v9INYz (https://apple.co/3v9INYz) Follow for free on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/30rZZL6 (https://spoti.fi/30rZZL6) For advice, support, opportunities, and connection, see our Women Returners website: https://bit.ly/3eAhKQH (https://bit.ly/3eAhKQH)

Podcast: The Book Owl PodcastEpisode: Episode 1: This Book Will Kill YouPub date: 2020-04-16Notes from Listening Post:Thoriumhttps://bookowlpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/episode1-take-3.mp3 It’s the premier episode of The Book Owl Podcast!!! We're being bombarded with news of scary things going on throughout the world, which means I know you're eager to find out about something else that will kill you. Although reading and books seem like safe pastimes, there is one book out there that will kill you. In this premier episode of The Book Owl Podcast we’ll discover the story behind the woman who wrote this troublesome tome and the danger it still poses today. If you want to get even more out of every episode (I’m talking bonus tidbits, people!) please join flock by signing up for The Book Owl Podcast newsletter. Thanks for listening everyone, and enjoy the episode!!! Note: There is a sound quality issue (low volume) that couldn’t be resolved in editing. It’s not too terrible, but just remember to turn down your earbuds once you finish listening. *** Episode Notes: Hey everyone, this is Tammie Painter and you're listening to the Book Owl Podcast, the podcast where I entertain your inner book nerd with tales of quirky books and literary lore. And this is the very first show…in other words, bear with me, I'm just getting the hang of this. Now, even though we're bombarded with news of scary things going on throughout the world, I know you're eager out which book might kill you, so I'll introduce myself at the end of the show. For now, a little theme music. So if you tell someone, say your bungie jumping buddy, your favorite hobby, they probably look at like, “Wimp.” Reading's something you do to relax, it's something you do from the safety of an armchair, it's about as far from bungie jumping danger as you can get, and it's rarely associated with causing bodily harm unless you'r reading on your phone and walk straight into a lamppost, but that's a whole nuther topic. However, there is a book out there that can kill you. It won't kill you quickly. It will invade your body, linger in there, and wreak havoc until you finally die. It's so dangerous it's stored in a lead-lined box and you have to sign a waiver to see it. Should you disregard the rules and safety instructions, you risk burns, nausea, and even cancer. So who wrote this dangerous tome? A headstrong woman who was celebrated in her lifetime, but also scorned and shunned. Her name? Marie Curie. Marie Curie, born Maria Sklodowska (sorry for any pronunciation butchering there) in Warsaw in 1867. She couldn't be bothered with conventions that said women didn't need higher education so she studied in the wonderfully named Flying University, an underground school in Russia. This served its purpose for a time, but she eventually opted to finish her education in Paris. But heading off to school in Paris wasn't cheap. To afford her education, she turned off all the heat in her apartment and would instead wear all her clothes layered on top of one another to keep warm. Marie was big science nerd. She was obsessed with physics and chemistry, so much so that she'd get so lost in her work, she'd forget to eat. In Paris. Where they have taste tempting boulangeries. The mind boggles. Anyway, she eventually came to work in the lab of Pierre Curie. I know, her name is a big spoiler alert, but let's just say these two not only shared a passion for science, but for each other. Pierre was keen to marry Marie, but she refused him. She had planned to go back to Poland and really had no intention of staying in Paris, so what would be the point. Pierre, rather romantic for a scientist, told her he would give up science and move to Poland with her. This still didn't win Marie over. What sealed the deal? Marie found out that as a woman, she would have a tough time establishing a career in Poland, so back to Paris and back to Pierre. The two were wed and let me just set this scene. This wasn't frills and fancy dresses. Marie didn't even have a wedding dress, she wore her normal lab clothes. So you can almost picture this couple urning the officiator to hurry up, they crank out their I dos, look at each other for a sec and then dash back to the lab to keep on working. Honeymoon, schmoneymoon, there's chemicals to be analyzed. And that's where we get back to that deadly book. It's actually a collection of books, Marie's lab journals and notebooks. Marie was curious about work being done with x-rays and decided to study uranium and how exactly radiation works. So when I did my physics studies in college we of course had some lessons on radiation…with accompanying lab work. We were literally handed a piece of radioactive material and, well I don't really remember what we did with it, but we did have to follow a lot of safety rules. And as a kid, my school took a field trip to the Hanford Nuclear Plant, because you know, what better way to educate kids than exposing them to radiation. But again, we all wore those little exposure meters and we all had to follow some strict rules. Not so much in Marie's days. There were no safety regulations because no one understood the danger. This was a time when young woman painted uranium directly onto watch faces to make them glow in the dark. This was fine, delicate work and the ladies would lick, LICK the paintbrushes to bring them to narrow points to do the detail work. Needless to say, these ladies were not the healthiest lasses on the block. This was also a time of quack cures and fun stuff that tried to used science as a marketing tool. People knew certain materials like thorium radiated energy. Who doesn't want more energy, right? And if you could tout your product as bursting with energy, why not toss a little thorium in? So, the stuff was tossed into toothpaste, drinking vessels, and, um, laxatives for that little extra something. Anyway, back to Marie. She's handling uranium, polonium, and radium with no more concern than we would handle a jug of merlot. She'd even keep vials of the stuff in her pocket. Forget they were there and wander home with them. She even delighted in keeping the vials around the lab because in the dark, and I quote, “the glowing tubes looked like fairy lights.” Yeah, Fairy lights of death! Marie's haphazard ways with deadly substances weren't in vain. She coined the term radioactivity and ushered in the era of particle physics. She also won a couple Nobel Prizes, one in Physics (with Pierre) and one in Chemistry. Too bad that the heavy exposure to her fairy lights left both her and Pierre to ill to attend the ceremony for the first Nobel she won. Irony? Three years after missing the Nobel Prize ceremony Pierre died. Oddly enough, not of radiation sickness, but of being crushed under a horse-drawn cart. Which makes you wonder if the horse was being fed thorium laden oats to boost his energy. Marie mourned Pierre, but she continued her work. She was living in a time when women were meant to stay home and raise the kids, and she was working in a field that was filled mainly with men. She did not have an easy time of things and was often shunned despite her being super smart (except about safety).  After a time, Marie started a relationship with a former student of Pierre's. His name was Paul and he was married, but had been estranged from his wife long before hooking up with Marie. Nevertheless, Marie was labeled as a home wrecker. The tabloids were no different then than today and they had a field day denigrating Marie. Poor Marie wasn't even home at the time. She'd gone off to a conference in Belgium. When she returned she had to fight her way through an angry mob. Still, Marie wasn't a woman to be held back by rumors. In that same year she won her second Nobel Prize becoming the first person ever to win two of the prestigious awards. Go Marie! Surprisingly Marie lived to a fairly good age for the time of 67. Unlike Pierre, she did suffer the effects of radiation poisoning and had been plagued with chronic illness most of her adult life. Her passion for what she was studying would be the cause of her death. Marie is recognized as one of the greatest scientists of her time and her notebooks contain a wealth of information and insight into her discoveries. Unfortunately, as I said, they will kill you. But the books can be seen. They're kept in the Pierre and Marie Curie collection at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. To contain the radiation, the books live in lead-lined boxes. And no you can't check them out even if your fines are paid up. You can view them…provided you wear protective gear (a haz mat suit) and sign a liability waiver. The crazy thing? This protocol hasn't been in place all that long. The notebooks were actually used by the Institute of Nuclear Physics until 1978. When they started noticing an unusually high cancer rate amongst the scientists and the surrounding neighborhoods, the books, like many of us right now, were put in lockdown. That's it.
