High Energy Physics and Environmental Health: A Note by a Metropolitan University Physicist

Abstract

Effective communication with community leaders and public officials at local, state, and federal levels is essential if faculty and administrators of metropolitan universities are to be successful in accomplishing their unique mission. However, examples of involvement by physical scientists are rare. This brief report describes multidirectional communication and linkages established by a physicist at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in connection with plans for a high energy astrophysics experiment that Jed instead to a proposal for a Resource Recovery Project.
