Radiation is a term that we all have a visceral reaction to, but seldom understand. It is a phenomena associated with solar flares that created the cosmos, and the destruction inflicted on the victims of the nuclear bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki 75 years ago. Radiation's push and pull between [natural / manmade] and [life / death] have captured the public imagination for decades, beginning with its discovery all the way to its contemporary influence on sci-fi movies and TV shows.

How can we unpack its multi-layered meanings, and renew our understanding of our radioactive world?
