Week 3 discussion The Nuclear Cafe
Class:
I did a complete turnaround on this issue after digging deep into the evidence. Read the WHO & the UN studies. Los Angeles has higher radiation levels than Chernobyl today. See the documentary Pandora’s Promise, and the HBO series Chernobyl. The Russian power plant cut corners on safety. About 31 to 54 people may have died at Chernobyl, and they were directly involved in the onsite cleanup. The increase in cancer off-site is contested. 80% of Frances power is provided by 58 safe 3rd-generation nuclear power plants. Germany and the U.S. are making a mistake not going nuclear and believing the Green hype. No one in the U.S. has ever died from a nuclear accident or was contaminated due to 3 Mile Island. Japan was hit in 2011 by a huge 133-foot tsunami. If their backup cooling generators had been higher and / or waterproof, there would not have been an explosion. Coal, gas and even solar (toxic materials to make them) kill thousands every year. People will not cut back on the energy they use, and yet they dont want to contribute to global warming or climate change. They want more, and solar, wind and natural gas will not deliver at those levels.

week 4 discussion A Lady Tasting Tea
Class:
At a summer tea party in Cambridge, England, a lady states that tea poured into milk tastes differently than that of milk poured into tea. The lady in question claimed to be able to tell whether the tea or the milk was added first to a cup. Her notion was thought unlikely by the scientific minds of the group. But one guest, by the name Sir Ronald Fisher (1890-1962), proposes to scientifically test the lady’s hypothesis. There was no better person to conduct such a test, for Fisher had brought to the field of statistics an emphasis on controlling the methods for obtaining data and the importance of interpretation. He knew that how the data was gathered and applied was as important as the data themselves. Fisher proposed to give her eight cups, four of each variety, in random order. One could then ask what the probability was of her getting the number she got correct or just by chance. The woman got all eight cups correct. The chance of someone who just guesses getting all correct, assuming she guesses that four had the tea put in first and four the milk, would be only 1 in 70 (p=.014). Apparently, the lady knew her tea.
Can you think of something in your everyday life that could be tested with research?
