🎧 Honored to join Istoria sto Kokkino (in Greek) @aski1992 with @MAvgeridis & @danae_kar on the cultural Cold War. When @mrentetz led me in 2018 to a master thesis on nuclear issues and in Greece, I never imagined this lens would resonate so widely. https://t.co/3Z4RfwaHSr

What’s a mobile library doing in ColdWar Greece?
Excited to share my first article—co-authored with my mentor, @mrentetz! It’s in Women, Gender, and Technosciences, 1900–2020, published by Routledge, ed. by Grégory Dufaud & Isabelle Lémonon-Waxin. Open access thanks to @HRP_IAEA!

Thrilled to have been part of #HSS2024 in Mérida! Our panel, led by @SusanLindee, explored nuclear history’s hidden layers—from unseen power to invisible radiation impacts. Huge thanks to @KapilD_P, @cooperaustinr, and Mary X. Mitchell for an inspiring discussion! @HRP_IAEA

At the start of 2018, I asked @mrentetz to supervise my MA thesis. Little did I know her suggestion to study the IAEA Mobile Lab would shape my journey! Six years later, on the verge of submitting my PhD, I’m thrilled our mobile lab is back in action—this time as a video. 🎉

Had a fantastic time at the @MgsaOrg conference at @Princeton! Our panel dived into the many faces of Cold War diplomacy in Greece! Huge thanks to @jennylialiouti for organizing, Panos Karagounis for his contributions, and @DLalaki for her brilliant insights.

[Loukas Freris @Loukas_Freris]

Science Diplomacy & Cultural Diplomacy: usually studied separately. But at this workshop in the European Cultural Centre of Delphi, we mixed them up and it was rewarding! The @HRP_IAEA was an organizing and active participant in the dialogue. We gained a lot. @mrentetz @STGS_FAU
