“As an educator, I am inspired by Highly NRiched’s creative approach to expanding and enhancing the public discourse on nuclear issues and excited to tap into its rich reservoir of resources and diverse networks of expertise”
“It’s wonderful being part of a platform that seeks to crowdsource and share research tools to tackle one of the most pressing threats of our time: nuclear weapons. Hubs like Highly NRiched are revolutionizing the way we explore, collaborate, and transform research to inform the public discourse.”
Origins
The founders of Highly Nriched met in 2018 as NSquare Fellows. We come from different backgrounds, but share a common interest in bringing new energy and fresh approaches to tackling the threat of nuclear weapons. An interdisciplinary team of scientists, designers, academics, and policy practitioners, together we brought Highly NRiched into existence. Our online hub supports informed public discourse on nuclear issues by making high quality educational resources easy to share and access. We promote diversity by linking educators and students with our accessible network of expert mentors. From day one, Highly NRiched has strived to teach, inspire, and engage.
Our Logo
The team at Highly NRiched supports diversity of thought, background, and experience. Our logo symbolizes the generative power of diversity. As the atom splits, it gives off new energy, releasing a diversity of possibilities for thought and action.
