[NMScience] Energy Author at Atomic Museum

[Miller, Jeanette K]

Please join us for an important talk from NMSU professor Dr. James Conca:

The National Atomic Museum in Old Town will host Dr. James Conca, co-author of "The GeoPolitics of Energy: Achieving a Just and Sustainable Energy Distribution by 2040," at 5:30 p.m., Saturday, June 21. Conca's talk and book signing is part of the Museum's "Meet the Author" series.

Dr. Conca is Director of the NMSU Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center. For the last 13 years, he and a team of scientists have been monitoring the environment in a 100-mile radius around the only operating deep geologic nuclear waste disposal site in the world, the Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP). The book, he says, is for "everyone who is concerned about the future."

A seat can be reserved by calling the Museum at 245-2137, extension 114. The cost to attend the lecture is $10 for Museum members; $15 for non-members. For those who wish to pay in advance for four of the lectures, the cost will be $30 for members and $45 for non-members.

The National Atomic Museum, America's only official museum resource for nuclear science and history, opened in 1969 and was chartered by Congress in 1991.  Located in Old Town at 1905 Mountain Rd. NW, the museum's exhibits include nuclear medicine, aircraft, pioneers of science, weapons history and arms control.  The museum will open a new building in March 2009 in southeast Albuquerque, when it becomes the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History.
