About Us

We bring an eclectic group together: a linguist turned computer scientist, a mechanical engineer, a hospitality manager, a teacher, and a doctor. And that doesn't include our guests. Some would say, \"Hey, you're not 'laymen'!\" To that we would respond, \"Shh...\" In reality, we take on various subjects in which we are certainly laymen. Additionally, from a philosophical perspective, we think everyone is a layman sometimes, and that's ok. We should embrace that and learn. So join us in learning. We try to keep it fun and interesting, but mostly we try to bring you along with us as you learn it from a layman.

What is nuclear power? How do we harness it and how safe is it really? How many horses does it take to equal a nuclear fission reactor and why do we keep horse-shaming? Join us for a discussion of nuclear fission and fusion, from the chemical process all the way to the management of radioactive nuclear waste.
