'A long and storied career of scientific contributions'

For nearly six decades, the High Flux Isotope Reactor has been one of the world’s most powerful research reactors. It has played a critical role in making isotopes for a range of applications, including space exploration, periodic table discoveries and life-saving cancer treatments. However, isotope production isn't its only claim to fame. LISTEN NOW

When reading the novel Jurassic Park as a teenager, Jerry Parks found the passages about gene sequencing and supercomputers fascinating, but never imagined he might someday pursue such futuristic-sounding science. Fast-forward to today when Parks has achieved a broad range of real-life discoveries based on an understanding of the molecular processes that underpin everything from toxic methylmercury formation to viral infection in humans. Read more
