Host Dave Schlom visits with Lucy Jane Santos, author of the new book, "Chain Reactions: The Hopeful History of Uranium." It's a fascinating sequel to her previous book, "Half Lives: the Unlikely History of Radium."
Lucy's fascination with the radioactive elements and how they have intersected lives and culture through history is on full display in her latest book on the heaviest naturally occurring element, Uranium. There's way more to the story than the Manhattan Project and nuclear energy, though those topics definitely get touched on too!
