Chernobyl Panel @ Resident Culture Brewing Company

This past Tuesday, we hosted a "Chernobyl! Ask Your Local Experts" panel at Resident Culture Brewing Company in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event covered wide-ranging topics surrounding nuclear power and of course, the HBO series, "Chernobyl". The event was attended by over 150 people! Shout out to our amazing panelists and all those who helped coordinate this event!

The event was live-streamed to Facebook as well. So if you'd like to hear/see more, check out the following link:
