Hey hey, it’s Elina, your friendly nuclear physicist 👩🏽‍🔬 ☢️ Nuclear physics shouldn't have to be all doom and gloom. My job is to make it understandable, fun and exciting!

On my channel, I dive into three interesting categories EXPLAINS, DEBUNKS and REACTS. There I create content explaining nuclear physics facts, debunking myths around the nuclear industry and reacting to movies, series, cartoons and videos related to nuclear physics.

Welcome aboard this fun and informative adventure!

Next week I am invited to Politecnico di Milano @polimi to host two workshops on science communication and gender aspects in the field of nuclear. Anyone near Milano who would like to attend? ☢️⚛️👩🏽‍🔬 #yfnp #elinacharatsidou

Particle accelerator time! 💪🏼☢️ I just returned from a week at the ESRF - The European Synchrotron Research Facility where in collaboration with Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) I performed synchrotron measurements on my nuclear fuel samples! This work is contributing to expanding our knowledge of uranium nitride and composite nuclear fuels. This is a very timely post due to international women’s day. Shoutout to all the women out there for pushing the boundaries every step of the way! ⚛️👩🏽‍🔬

Time to go home! It was a bittersweet experience these past two weeks in Boston and at MIT. Lots of unsuccessful experiments and also lots of good meetings, networking, socialising, learning and exploring! Boston, I will be back! 💪🏼⚛️

Day 1: Pic with the main building of MIT ✅
Located the MIT reactor building ⚛️ in seconds
Got safety lab tour at the nuclear laboratory 👷🏽‍♀️
Sleepy at 3pm cause… jet lag 💤
