Spook-tacular science ๐ŸŽƒ Our 30th annual High-Tech Halloween was a monster smash!

Young Frankensteins and their families stopped by our Bradbury Science Museum for hands-on fun, including โ€œboo" bubbles, a magical cloud chamber and cute-but-creepy slowed-down animal sounds.

Thanks to all the families and volunteers whoโ€™ve made High-Tech Halloween a Los Alamos treat since 1994. ๐Ÿ‘ป

Weโ€™re grinning like jack-oโ€™-lanterns in anticipation. Hope youโ€™ll join us...if you dare!

Tonight at 5:30, join us for "At Odds with Oppenheimer: Los Alamos and the H-Bomb Decision" with historian Nicholas Lewis.

๐Ÿ“… Monday, Sept. 9
โฐ 5:30-7 p.m.
๐Ÿ“projectY cowork, 150 Central Park Square, Los Alamos, NM

During the height of the Red Scare in the 1950s, political enemies of Oppenheimer seized upon his past views on H-bomb development as a means of discrediting him publicly as well as attempting to criticize the Lab's H-bomb program.

This talk uses unique Lab archival sources to untangle the complex issues surrounding the H-bomb debates and to challenge the claims made against Los Alamos and its early H-bomb effort.
