[email protected] - Ruchit Nagar is a senior at the Kinkaid School. Ever since his freshmen year, he has had a passion for both debate and science research. Currently, as a senior researcher and Vice President of the Debate Club, Ruchit is especially interested in how scientific issues shape public policy. Today Ruchit will be giving a talk on the future of nuclear weapons, nuclear energy, and space research. He explains his talk as follows: "I think much of mainstream discussion on important issues, such as that of the nuclear weapons debate, is limited. It is limited by political agendas and a demand for realism. However, if our generation and our species is to continue evolving, we must engage in transcendental thinking.
