🚨 JUST IN: Two essays offer contrasting perspectives about J. Robert Oppenheimer. First, for @ericssinger.bsky.social, now that Oppenheimer has become a folk hero, he must be taught about in his full complexity. (1/2) thebulletin.org/2025/07/oppe... #Oppenheimer #80thAnniversary #nukesky

"The disturbing truth is that the eight-decade-old nuclear age has yielded an untold number of victims around the world," Eric S. Singer writes. wapo.st/3IvwocK

Wednesday marks the 80th anniversary of the Trinity Test, the first ever human-controlled nuclear explosion. On July 16, 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer and a team of scientists detonated an atomic bomb on the Alamogordo Bombing Range in New Mexico as part of the Manhattan Project.

Tomorrow is the 80th anniversary of the world's first atomic bomb test. I wrote about its human impact in today's @washingtonpost.com. wapo.st/44vNOP1 #trinity #oppenheimermovie #nukesky

I was telling these kids the other day that they have to not just think about the implications of their work, but imagine the unintended implications. They wanted to know if Oppenheimer did.The answer?It’s complicated.. he experienced competing pressures.It’s hard to see clearly through wind and fog

Wow. Really excited about this.

Can’t wait to read this one. So much great nuclear age material coming out this year.

Sachi Komura Rummel was eight when the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima just 3km away. Rummel has since written a memoir, and will share her experience on Wednesday at the North Vancouver City Library: www.nvcl.ca/events/hiros...

I had a great time in conversation with my dear friend @ericssinger.bsky.social about his new book and the importance of disarmament education in Baltimore this week.
