Artists & Makers Studios
11810 Parklawn Drive, Suite 210
Rockville, MD 20852
Artists & Makers Studios on Parklawn Drive in Rockville is thrilled to host Bud Wilkinson in the Invited Artist Gallery for the month of January 2025. The exhibit runs from January 8th through January 29th, with an opening reception on Second Friday, January 10th, 5 – 8pm. “Artist Portraits” is a photographic survey of hundreds of DC area artists, presented in an immersive, celebratory, kaleidoscopic, multiscreen, environment. Bud Wilkinson began the project casually, taking photos of friends at galleries, until eventually, it snowballed into a project that lasted over ten years, and documented an era of artists and their activity at multiple DC venues. Bud Wilkinson is an artist and photographer, living in Arlington, Virginia.

Virtual
Join the Rockville Science Center on Zoom for our monthly lecture series, Rockville Science Tuesday. This month we will chat with the author of The Green Nuclear Option, William Needham. From a history of nuclear power’s beginnings with the Manhattan Project through detailed accounts of the accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima, Needham does not shy from the ugly side of nuclear power. He also addresses the environmental community’s dismissal of nuclear reactors as dangerous and dirty. Needham explains what has been done to prevent recurrence and makes a financial case for nuclear energy. Needham concludes his book with hope that proven nuclear technology can bridge the gap to a much-reduced fossil fuel future. Our speaker: William Needham is a nuclear engineer and graduate of MIT and Duke University. He is also an advocate for the Sierra Club, a Maryland Master Naturalist and past president of the Mycological Association of Washington DC. His latest book is The Green Nuclear Option.
