SUMMARY:Archival Adventures: Shortwave Experiment by Thomas Calvert McClary
DESCRIPTION:It's time for an adventure! This week "Dr. Conklin sets out to 
 abolish a heated argument about peanut brittle" in Thomas Calvert McClary's 
 "Shortwave Experiment" the 12th story from author and sci-fi historian Sam 
 Moskowitz’ list of sci-fi classics from his 1940 letter to the editor of 
 Comet. McClary was a speechwriter\, ghostwriter\, and author primarily 
 known for his westerns. Published under the pseudonym Calvin Peregoy\, 
 “Shortwave Experiment” is the third of his Dr. Conklin stories. Like 
 his story "Rebirth" - which was item three on the list - this story is 
 essentially a thought experiment in cultural engineering.\n\nJoin our 
 community collections archivist\, Anthony Wright de Hernandez\, for a 
 livestream on Twitch! Every week we explore and discuss materials from 
 Special Collections and University Archives covering topics including 
 university history\, NASA pioneers\, architecture\, science fiction\, 
 cooking\, LGBTQ  history\, Black history\, urban legends\, and more. 
 Recordings of previous streams are available on the Libraries' Youtube 
 page.\n\nIf you are an individual with a disability and desire an
