This video is about the continued dangers of nuclear weapons and the nuclear arms race in the post-cold war world, particularly nuclear winter but also modernizations by the US and Russian governments, EMPs (electromagnetic pulses), fallout, explosions, terrorism, other accidents, etc.

Virginia Tech offers the state's only bachelor's degree in meteorology, affording students in The College of Natural Resources and Environment opportunities you can't find at other schools. Among them: hanging out with The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore.

As a research institute of Virginia Tech, the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science enhances the university’s ability to address large-scale research opportunities by crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries. ICTAS focuses on emerging technologies at the intersections of engineering, the humanities, and the physical, life, and social sciences.

These technologies – including sustainable energy and water systems, applied autonomy, cognition and communication, renewable materials, and the nano-bio interface – have the potential to transform our lives and create a sustainable future. Through state-of-the-art facilities, seed funding, and administrative support, ICTAS is building a research ecosystem that fosters innovation in these and other interdisciplinary fields.
