Nuclear Weapons Today: Physics and Politics

Nuclear Weapons Today: Physics and Politics, April 22 10:30 AM Eastern

The panel will feature experts Alexandre Debs (Yale Department of Political Science) and Lisbeth Gronlund (MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Security and Policy). Attendees will learn about the physics of nuclear weapons and missile defense, key recent innovations, and current political questions—including the challenge of nuclear non-proliferation and dangers posed by the war in Ukraine.

Onsite attendance is limited to members of the Yale community.

After the program, Student Pugwash will host a special viewing of the event video, followed by virtual small group discussions about nuclear weapons policy and risks (date and time TBD). If you are interested in this virtual viewing and discussion, let us know.
