On every episode of the Further Together podcast we talk about the work that ORAU does across our various capabilities, but we don’t often step back and take stock of our impact on a national and global scale. ORAU is a humble organization focused on the public good, not on bragging about the work we’ve done over the last 76 years. All of that changes in this episode. CEO Andy Page and Senior Vice President Jeff Miller put some of ORAU’s impact in perspective. That impact has been tremendous in many areas, including worker Health research, training generations of health physicists, foundations of nuclear medicine, and so much more! Their conversation with host Michael Holtz and co-host Adam Delahoussaye is both enlightening and exciting.
