About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about

As a working chemist, Meredith Angwin headed projects that lowered pollution and increased reliability on the electric grid. Her work included pollution control for nitrogen oxides in gas-fired combustion turbines, and corrosion control in geothermal and nuclear systems.

She was one of the first women to be a project manager at the Electric Power Research Institute. She led projects in renewable and nuclear energy.

In the past ten years, she began to study and take part in grid oversight and governance. For four years, she served on the Coordinating Committee for the Consumer Liaison Group associated with ISO-NE, her local grid operator. She teaches courses and presents workshops on the electric grid.

Meredith's newest book release - Shorting the Grid, The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid is an exposé of the insider-ruled practices of the “deregulated” areas of the United States electric grid. Shorting the Grid shows the hidden problems caused by lack of accountability on the grid. Americans need to pay attention to how the grid is managed. Hopeful speeches will not keep the lights on. If you assume that the lights will go on when you flip a switch, you need to read this book.

Meredith has been keynote or featured speaker at several nuclear events, including keynote at the worldwide Nuclear Science Week in 2018.

She and her husband George live in Vermont. They have two children and four grandchildren who live in the New York City area.

Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI PMP completed a Biochemical Engineering degree in 1990. He has since spent over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions. His career specialty has been leading large worldwide teams in complex problem-solving activity. His uniquely powerful ability has been to rapidly resolve complex multifactorial issues, involving all branches of science and technology – there has been no field which he could not integrate into successful and rapid resolution. In 2015 he was shortlisted in the top six of around 500 applicants for Chartered Engineer status that year, and also completed a Stanford certificate in technical innovation and entrepreneurial management.

Since 2012 Ivor has been intensively researching the root causes of modern chronic disease. A particular focus has been on cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. He shares his research insights at public speaking engagements around the world, revealing the key nutritional and lifestyle interventions which will deliver excellent health and personal productivity. He has presented on heart disease primary root causes at the British Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR) in London. He has also debated Irish Professors of Medicine on stage, at the annual conference of the Irish National Institute of Preventative Cardiology (NIPC). Over the past decade he has captivated audiences all over the world – in USA, UK, Ireland, Estonia, Israel, Switzerland etc.

Ivor’s 2018 book “Eat Rich, Live Long” (co-authored with preventative medicine expert Jeffry Gerber MD, FAAFP), details the conclusions of their shared research: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Rich-Live-Long-Mastering/dp/1628602732/

His public lectures and interviews are available on YouTube, where he has 230,000+ subscribers and 26 million views have been recorded to date: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPn4FsiQP15nudug9FDhluA

Ivor’s most recent project has been to further democratize health and longevity information via the www.metabolicduo.com platform.

Ivor lives in Dublin, Ireland, with his wife and five children.
