Special thanks to @gabriellehecht.bsky.social @wellerstein.bsky.social @nuclearanthro.bsky.social @cherylrofer.bsky.social Martin Kalinowski and several other folks (not on bsky) whose work and/or support has proved valuable to this process.

I may have some house repairs happening at that time. But I will try to tune in. Good luck!

Thank you! No worries, tune in as able. I’ll share the finalized text in a few weeks. This isn’t the best thing I’ll write, but it is one of the first.

I look forward to reading! Oh heavens no a dissertation is not meant to be the best thing we write. It’s a proof of work document.

You are very generous in your praise, I did little to nothing!

A key citation from a formerly restricted data report had been FOIA’d and archived on your OSF security archive. The explicit explanation on declassifying some tritium production info due to Watts Bat production is a very important milestone in the tritium story. You do your work. We all benefit.

Also I have some serious questions about long term tritium production in the USA for nuclear weapons. And what the contingency plan is if the TVA reactor(s) become unavailable for 5+ years. Plus, what about if USA increases warhead #s.

I am delighted to hear that my OSF was of use.

Unofficial start time is 12:15 PM EST. And it may last 2+ hours. Feel free to join/leave as able. I appreciate moral support regardless.

Good luck! Breathe deep...it helps! 🎉👏

YAY! CONGRATULATIONS!

Hooray!
