I have been living on the nuclear edge my entire adult life, and throughout my career in academia, private industry, and government in the United States, I have dealt firsthand with the evolving nuclear threat. Nuclear weapons may seem like the story of the XNUMXth century, but the choices we make about these weapons in the XNUMXst century will decide their future in truly fundamental ways. Because most people don't understand how serious these dangers are today, their governments aren't taking the proper preventative measures—actions that are easily achievable. And so, we are drifting towards a nuclear catastrophe. That is why I have dedicated the balance of my life to educating the public about these dangers, and this is why I have created this course.
