Kimball Smith Series: Nuclear Weapons Today: Physics and Politics

Join us on April 22nd from 10:30am-12pm in ESC 110 (21 Sachem St.) for a moderated panel followed by small group discussions on nuclear weapons.
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. Yale community members of all disciplines and levels of expertise are encouraged to attend.
Program partners: International Security Studies, Department of Political Science, Department of Physics, Wright Laboratory.
