NAYGN Book Club - Invisible Women
2024-09-24 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Join us as we discuss “Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men”. This book is being sponsored by the Canadian Nuclear Society x Disruptive Innovative Emerging Technologies or CNS DIET. DIET provides a forum for collaboration and exchange on the impact of Disruptive, Innovative, and Emerging, Technologies in the nuclear sector.
This book looks at how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap – a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives.
Award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are excluded from the very building blocks of the world we live in, and the impact this has on their health and wellbeing. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media – Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.

2024 World Nuclear Energy Day
2024-12-02 00:00 - 23:59 (America/New_York)
Dear Friends of upcoming World Nuclear Energy Day 2024, December 2nd I convey to you our theme for this year!
Recall, we create a new theme each year. Theme for 2024: We Are Critical Mass
The concept of “critical mass” was first used in nuclear physics. It represents the minimum amount of a fissionable material that will support a self-sustaining chain reaction. At this mass, the neutrons released in one fission reaction can trigger adjacent atoms to fission. A second definition explains socio-dynamic phenomena that drive actions and behaviors of large segments of the population. Also described as “critical density” in ecology, “threshold models of collective behavior” in sociology, and inflection points for policy influence in gender politics, the term illustrates how a spark ignites social movement.
Since 2022, responses to surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center have marked a shift in support for nuclear energy in the U.S. with over 50% of adults saying they favor more nuclear generation for electricity. International support is similarly on the rise. In January 2024 World Nuclear News published an article on a global survey that found high public support for nuclear energy. “One-and-a-half times more people support the use of nuclear energy than oppose it.” A social movement is coalescing into an international energy policy direction. We are poised to unlock and mobilize new nuclear technologies that will improve the general welfare of all the world’s people. We are critical mass.
Theme Creator and Designer
Rani Franovich conceived of the social movement theme for World Nuclear Energy Day 2024, “We are critical mass!” She is a former staff member of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), where she served as a certified resident inspector, manager, and leader in various capacities, including an initiative to drive culture change, agility, and high performance at the Agency. After an accomplished 30-year career at the NRC she established Nuclear ROSE Consulting, LLC, which offers a variety of expert services on nuclear regulatory oversight, safety and environmental (Nuclear ROSE).
Located near Washington DC, Ms. Franovich is a frequent commenter, writer, educator, national policy influencer, and public speaker on the promise of nuclear energy to solve pressing national and global problems. She actively advocates for close Congressional oversight and urgent regulatory reform of the NRC to enable the continued safe operation of existing reactors and deployment of new and advanced nuclear technologies.
Ms. Franovich also is a skilled artist and writer. Her genealogy includes American Gilded Age painter James McNeill Whistler and Pulitzer Prize winning North Carolina playwright Paul Green. In addition to designing graphics for her company website, presentations and publications, she makes and sells beaded jewelry. Applying a rare combination of technical creds, writing skill and artistry, she penned the narrative and designed promotional media for this year’s World Nuclear Energy Day theme.

Join the NAYGN Book Club as we discus “The Mystery of Hunting’s End” by Mignon G. Eberhart for our last book club meeting of 2024.
This 1930’s chiller is set in the Sand Hills of western Nebraska. Smack in the middle of the rolling desolation is Hunting’s End, a weekend lodge owned by the rich Kinger Family. Socialite Matil Kingery, the Daughter of the Late Mr. Kingery, invites a strange collection of guests to her weekend retreat for a hunting trip. What do these guests have in common? They were all present when Matils father died of “Heart Failure” exactly five years before. With the help of her dear friend Nurse Keate and a detective, she intends to find out whodunit. Before the fun can begin, a November blizzard traps the participants, at least one of which a murderer, in the lodge. Will Matil uncover the truth or will she suffer the same fate as her father?
