Justin Ball and Jason Parisi on The Future of Fusion Energy - Part I
Hello and welcome to this episode of Physical Attraction. I\u2019ve been excited about this for a while. Today, on the show, for the first time ever, we have not one but TWO guests, who have co-written an excellent book together. They are both currently researching nuclear fusion, and they have written a book about the future of fusion energy called\u2026 well, the Future of Fusion Energy.
Dr Justin Ball is currently studying plasma theory at Lausanne, and Jason Parisi works on turbulent transport in highly magnetized plasmas just a few buildings away from me here at the University of Oxford.
Their book is an excellent guide to the science, history, and future of fusion energy, and of real help in compiling the marathon efforts in the show so far, so I was excited to be able to grab both of them for an interview to talk about fusion. Since this comes after I\u2019ve already been yakking about fusion for ages, the conversation does assume some knowledge of what nuclear fusion is, but should be easy to follow if you\u2019ve listened to some of the episodes in this series already.
Thank you for listening to this episode of Physical Attraction. My guests were Justin Ball and Jason Parisi. If you\u2019d like to find out more, please do get their book \u2013 The Future of Fusion Energy \u2013 which is a highly entertaining and informative read. They also both have websites in the same format \u2013 Justin-ball.com and Jason-Parisi.com \u2013 and they can both be found on Twitter if you\u2019re into that sort of thing.
Remember, comments, questions, concerns, feedback, etc. can all be directed to me on Twitter at physicspod, or via the contact form on our website at www.physicspodcast.com \u2013 it\u2019s always so wonderful to hear from listeners, and this is your chance to help me make the show as good as it can be! You can help us out by leaving a review on iTunes, purchasing past bonus episodes from the website, or just telling as many people as possible about the show to help spread the word if you like what we do.
