May 2019

I grew up near Hanford WA, and worked in the nuclear industry while growing up. While others worked in a restaurant or gas station while in high school, I work in a radio-chem lab. I still remember much of the physics from that time.

I have been to Minsk several times in the last two years for business and I've seen how that city has rebounded from USSR policies.

It's a great show - very well done.
