#GlobalWarming is undeniable and we need to take action globally to preserve our planet. In the 1970s, France began a centrally planned expansion of nuclear power and currently derives 70% of its electricity from #nuclear power.

University scholars can glean enhanced insight into the #BEARProgram and its importance in the history of U.S defense. Uncover knowledge and perspective that was once kept private in my upcoming book, "Smart Enough to Pull It Off: Memoir of a Physicist".

Visit the BEAM EXPERIMENT ABOARD ROCKET at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. This technology helped establish NPBs during the Reagan era.

National security systems combined with civil and commercial systems can significantly improve the collection of critical environmental parameters that pertain to climate change.

Halfway through my Ph.D. program at FSU, I realized that academia would not suffice for my career. Read about my path to becoming a physics researcher in my upcoming book "Smart Enough To Pull It Off: Memoir of a Physicist"

Neutral particle beams were explored for possible use in missile defense. Although research continued, no deployed weapon has ever employed neutral particle beam technology.

Did you know that the MEDEA program supported complementary research studies on climate treaty monitoring and verifying CO2 emissions? What good is combating climate change if we don't know if we're winning?

My book describes a proposed constellation of satellites that sense and assess target environments as well as directed energy weapon components that counter missile threats.

US-Russia Oceanographic Atlases were developed by the MEDEA program and Russia and have been used for over 20 years to track climate change!

Elements of Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" Program have evolved into plot points for mainstream media. Has anyone seen Wonder Woman: 1984?

The BEAR linear accelerator demonstrated that a neutral hydrogen beam could be successfully propagated in an exoatmospheric environment. The BEAR program has not been documented in detail outside of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, until now.

The MEDEA is a group of sciences that represent a plethora of disciplines that were first given access to highly classified data from the US Intel Community and the Defense Department.

Many people are aware of Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defensive Initiative aka the "Star Wars" program. My new book "Smart Enough To Pull It Off: Memoir of a Physicist" dives into some new, undocumented details about his program. Stay tuned for updates coming soon!

While corallivores are traditionally thought to be relatively insignificant, recent studies have shown that corallivorous fish show distinct prey preferences and can cause further coral loss. As global warming continues, we could potentially lose all coral reefs by the year 2100!
