Thoughtscaping at Chernobyl feat. Iida Ruishalme

Biologist and science communicator Iida Ruishalme used to sing a
Finnish antinuclear protest song about hiding from the Chernobyl
plume in her youth. More recently, she had the chance to visit
Chernobyl with a group of scientists and filmmakers. With her
trusty Geiger counter in hand and her relative risk thinking cap
on, she drew some very interesting conclusions from her visit. We
continue our exploration of the concept of hazards and relative
risks as Iida describes her flight to Ukraine through the
radioactive cosmic rays of the upper atmosphere; to smog-choked
Kiev; to the city of Narodychi, which refused to evacuate from
the exclusion zone; to the dogs and wildlife of the zone; and
finally to touching the switch in the control room that was the
last straw in the tragedy of errors which caused the accident.
