This talk explores the catastrophic Chernobyl nuclear disaster of April 26, 1986—one of the most significant technological failures in modern history. We will examine the sequence of events that led to the explosion at Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Soviet Ukraine, the human and environmental cost of the disaster, and the long-term effects that continue to shape global nuclear policy. The session will also shed light on the heroism of the first responders, the secrecy of the Soviet response, and the lessons learned in the decades since. Through historical analysis and scientific context, the talk aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how a single event reshaped our perception of nuclear energy forever. Scheduled for Thursday, 1/29/26, from 4:15pm-5:15pm.

Greg was an eyewitness to the collapse of communism. Living and working in Poland from 1986 to 1990, he saw the rot finally give way and knew many of the people who became household names. But what he saw went mostly unreported and has since fallen by the wayside before new narratives had been woven about why communism fell. Greg will share some of those stories about himself and real persons in Poland: what they faced, how they coped, and how they overcame enormous obstacles to refute and defeat Marx and Lenin. Scheduled for Friday, 1/30/26, from 4:15pm-5:15pm.
