I suck at this AMA thing I keep quote casting instead of responding in the thread. My apologies.

The food in the Guangzhou airport was really good. Also a fan of the Istanbul airport. Worst airport might be some regional US airports I’ve been to. Hard to choose. Pre-renovation LaGuardia was pretty bad too

Too many to choose but recently I really loved Annie Ernaux’s “Things Seen”

Nothing good in sight in this airport terminal but I ate at this outstanding Chinese spot called D Cuisine tonight on the north side of Chicago.

I wrote a few stories here and there over the years, but did a bit piece in 2021 rounding up all the pro nuke announcements at the climate summit that year. The following spring I visited Finland for work and wrote a big feature on the Onkalo waste storage site. But I was really blown away by Okliluoto 3 and the importance of a new reactor at a moment when Russians were cutting off energy supplies. The next month I was going to the Netherlands for a conference so I visited Borsele and wrote a big feature in the Dutch push for more reactors. It snowballed from there. I had a few mentors who helped me a lot. Two of them were on stage with me today at the American Nuclear Society conference speaking on a panel I moderated. One is the consultant and engineer Mark Nelson. The other is the BloombergNEF analyst Chris Gadomski. They have very different views but they both taught me a lot.

That’s awesome! Got any good clips you can share? What was your favorite story you wrote? I haven’t covered this but I know the guy who wrote this piece.

Matcha. Coffee makes me crash too hard, though I do love Yemeni coffee and one thing I can always do is Yemeni qishr, which is wide with coffee husks.
