Movember Fund Raising Plea – Beneficiaries are the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Prostate Cancer Foundation

ByRod Adams

I am highjacking the Atomic Insights feed and blog site for a brief advertisement. People who visit the site instead of receiving posts via RSS feed might have noticed a series of profile photo changes as I went clean shaven for the first time in 28 years and as I have gradually replaced my mustache with a new “mo” – as they say in Australia.

You may or may not understand the reason for that change in my face. I have been participating in the Movember fund raising campaign whose tag line is “change the face of men’s health”. By making a visible change, my “mo” brothers and I have been able to start conversations with people about an important research area, sort of like the pink ribbons, hat brims and gloves that you see during October.

As we enter the last third of the month, I ask you to consider making a donation to the cause. Generous friends, family and Atomic Insights readers have already given a total of $560 as of this morning. If you want to make the donation and give me credit for raising the funds, please click on the logo:

Thank you and have a happy rest of Movember.

    The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has recently published a report titled Unlearned Lessons from Year-plus Reactor Outages that makes some rather absurd claims.

    ByRod Adams

    My old friend Jeremy Whitlock, who has been publishing the Candian Nuclear FAQ since April 1996, published a very amusing article titled “Refurbish thyself” with slightly disguised references to some prominent anti-nuclear leaders and their groups. Worth visiting, especially if you are a nuke that likes recognizing allusions are not necessarily obvious to outsiders.
