this theoretical problem, I said, analyze your toenails.

Tell me how much arsenic and gold you've got in your body.

All we study at MIT is the natural world and things

we make out of it, so everything is reducible to practice.

Everything can be real, if you put in the effort.

How do you make these things real and tangible?

decay, nuclear reactions, all these things.

a podcast about inspired teaching at MIT.

I'm your host, Sarah Hansen from MIT OpenCourseWare.

The Nuclear Engineering and Ionizing Radiation course

at MIT take students from understanding basic physics

to grappling with the core concepts of Einstein's E equals

it takes to make a class that's not only hands-on, but also

My guest is one of the main people that makes this happen,

MIKE SHORT: This course is all about radiation,

So this is the first course on its intro to everything nuclear

And a lot of times for students, it's their first modern physics

The physics courses that first-year students take

are often things that we've known for 100 to 300 years.

And the field of nuclear physics is still evolving.

We're still using nuclear radiation spectra

to detect the presence of water on Mars or the moon.

of which particles do and don't exist and why.

SARAH HANSEN: So nuclear science and radiation in particular

are emotionally charged topics, you know?

You read on the internet claims like, cell phones cause cancer,

How are you preparing students to debunk pseudoscience

at the end of the class looking at studies

that are false or have exaggerated claims

And then we turn to published articles, and blogs,

Cell phones don't emit ionizing radiation.

We debunk myths like, the tiniest little bit

of irradiation can harm you, when in truth, we

But a lot of misinformation in radiation and nuclear science

is incorporated into culture, into our sort

in what's called the linear no threshold model, which says,

Because we would need to have exposed tens of millions

in a controlled study, which is not something

that all radiation causes harm, because we don't know.

And I want students to both recognize false science

don't know enough information to say something confidently,

and be comfortable with that lack of knowledge.

It means there's something new to explore.

But if you don't have something to conclude,

How does this connect to the irradiated fruit

The last day of class, we often have an irradiated fruit party,

and it's the only known way to kill all of the insect, viral,
