Science and risk communication panel discussion, 21 May 2021


In the COVID-19 pandemic era, the Section is hosting periodic virtual meetings on interesting topics from our membership and beyond via Zoom. This special session was dedicated to a panel discussion on science and risk communication, and was a hybrid meeting, with the panelists and a few participants physically present at UNM and the remainder joining via Zoom.

Speakers and topics:

  • (Katie Mummah) Science and risk communication introduction and overview
  • (Carl Willis) Ongoing and proposed activities of Trinity Section
  • (Bobbi Riedel) Communication activities in the public sector
  • Moderated Discussion:
    • How can we be more effective?
    • NM doesn't have a reactor. Reconciling with reality that big nuclear employment/representation is in the form of weapons labs, uranium mining and milling, and WIPP—everyone doesn't see the energy, economics benefit
    • Speaking to the community? Schools, general population
    • Interactions with renewable community and common ground (tech and non-tech)
    • Outreach to marginalized groups, especially indigenous populations
    • Engaging Local and State Legislators, topics specific to NM
