Have you ever heard of "The Union of Concerned Scientist?" If they were really "concerned," they would be making sure their policies were based in scientific facts rather than in a political agenda.

Utility Worker Shortages

This is the video podcast that contains the video discussed in Episode 45.

In my last show I mentioned the new informational video designed to inform young people about careers in nuclear science, engineering and technology. In this show I'm going to do something a little different - we're going to listen to the sound track of the video, then I have a panel of experts from he target audience who will critique the video ad share their thoughts on it.

So, without further delay…lights..cameras..action!

This is the audio from the panel discussion I participated in with Rod Adams and Eric McErlain at the American Nuclear Society 2006 Winter Meeting in Albequerque, NM. In this episode you'll hear Rod Adams and I discussing the new media, blogging, podcasting, and sharing the truth about nuclear energy using these fantastic new media forms.

The panel discussion was more than 2 hours long, so I was not able to include Eric's comments (the audio on Eric's part was not as clear).

Also, the session was facilitated by Lisa Stiles-Shell. Nice job, Lisa!
