“I think it is important that people learn to trust the science of nuclear energy.” An Interview with Priya Ghosh

Description

Priya Ghosh is an astrophysicist, nuclear engineer, and a postdoctoral researcher at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. There she builds and develops radiation detectors to detect neutrons and gamma rays, and also studies and analyzes cosmic ray data to better understand the chemical composition of the galaxy. She sat down with us to talk about working on the upcoming TIGERISS mission, changing the narrative on nuclear energy, and why scientists are trying to build a good pair of eyeglasses so the galaxy becomes less blurry.
