Summary

On December 15, 2022, Grace Stanke, representing her home state of Wisconsin, was crowned Miss America 2023 and awarded $50,000 in scholarship. This was the third time Miss Wisconsin has been crowned Miss America in the history of the Organization. During the competition, Stanke won the talent portion, performing a piece from “Vivaldi’s Summer/Four Seasons – Storm” on her electric violin. Stanke, a nuclear engineering student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has earned more than $68,000 in scholarship assistance through her state and Miss America competitions. During her year as Miss America, Grace is traveling the country using her national platform to advocate for “Clean Energy – Cleaner Future.” Encouraging worldwide change for clean, zero-carbon emission energy sources, Stanke emphasizes the benefits of nuclear power and seeks to dispel the myths around nuclear energy while inspiring the next generation of female scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. “In addition to helping change public perception of nuclear energy and technology, I hope to inspire youth, especially young girls, to explore STEM and to see that going into these fields, including nuclear engineering, is an option for them.” Topics covered in this episode:

Passion for Nuclear Energy
History of Miss America
Social Impact Initiative
Transition to Clean Energy
Awareness of Energy Sources
Challenges in the Nuclear Industry
Policy Advocacy
Engaging Communities
Changing Public Perception

0:00.0	Nuclear engineering is the engineering discipline concerned with the design and application of systems that make use of energy released by nuclear processes.
0:10.9	The most prominent application of nuclear energy is the generation of electricity. Worldwide, there are 440 nuclear reactors in 32 countries that generate approximately 10% of the world's energy through nuclear fission.
0:28.8	In the future, it is expected that nuclear fusion will add another nuclear means to generate energy.
0:41.8	Both of these reactions make use of nuclear binding energy released when atomic nucleons are separated, fission, or brought together, fusion. The energy
0:49.9	available is given by the binding energy curve, and the amount generated is much greater than that
0:57.9	that is generated through chemical reactions. That may sound like a lot and I'm so glad that
1:04.1	my guest today, Grace Stanky, Miss America, 2023 is going to break it down and make it so much more simple for us to understand
1:15.1	that nuclear science plays a role in our everyday lives, that it's not the Trinobles
1:23.2	and the Fukushima's of the past, that it has an important role in medicine, and that the industry
1:31.3	is growing and evolving and becoming safer and safer. Miss America is one of my favorite
1:40.3	organizations. It's an annual competition open to women from the United States between the
1:45.5	ages of 18 and 28. It started in 1921 as a bathing beauty review and the contest is now judged
1:53.8	on competition segments, the private interview, the on stage question, the talent or the herstery, where you can either perform
2:02.8	your talent or a 90-second speech, health and fitness, and evening gown.
2:08.6	The previous year's title holder always crowns the winner, and it is always a joy of mine
2:15.2	to get to tune in and see which of these amazingly impressive women
2:22.1	takes the crown and earns scholarship money to further her education. Let's get into my interview
2:29.9	with Grace Stanky. This is The Lindsay Elmore Show. Welcome to the Lindsay Elmore Show, a podcast for
2:37.9	people who deserve to be healthy with honest, open, and enlightening conversations with doctors,
2:44.4	thought leaders, creatives, and spiritual gurus, you'll walk away with simple and tangible tips and tricks that allow you to live
2:54.2	your healthiest life so you can pursue your dreams, overcome obstacles, and leave your mark.
3:01.6	On December 15th, 2022, Grace Stanky, representing her home state of Wisconsin, was crowned Miss America
