“Most of us were taught that the goal of science is power over nature, as if science and power were one thing and nature quite another. Niels Bohr observed to the contrary that the more modest but relentless goal of science is, in his words, ‘the gradual removal of prejudice.’ By ‘prejudice,’ Bohr meant belief unsupported by evidence.” –Pulitzer Prize-winner Richard Rhodes
The Nuclear Literacy Project is a new website and outreach initiative geared towards reaching young, non-technical audiences with information about nuclear energy. The nonprofit organization PopAtomic Studios has teamed with a committee nuclear communications and technical experts, as well as “Atomic Insights,” American Crane, StratusFX and several private donors to develop an innovative and effective approach to energy education. The website is just the beginning. We are also working to create new apps, games and quizzes to reach young people through venues that they already know and enjoy using. You want to learn 10 important facts about nuclear energy in about 1 minute? No problem! Just check out our Fast Facts page. Want to test your nuclear knowledge on your smart phone? Try one of our Quizzes. We are also very excited to offer a first hand look into the lives of young nuclear engineers through our “Nuclear All Stars” Blog.
