Description

In this episode, we explore how education in nuclear science can serve as a bridge between nations.

I’ve invited Dr AJ Mitchell, an experimental nuclear physicist here at the ANU, to help us with this exploration.

AJ’s journey into international nuclear education began with a simple email—an unexpected opportunity that led to meaningful collaborations with Myanmar and Cambodia that supported nuclear research and education in contexts very different from his own.
