South Asia is not the most dangerous place on earth   Ramamurti Rajaraman   Science and Security Board member Ramamurti Rajaraman writes that the nuclear situation between India and Pakistan may not be good, but it's been over-dramatized as near-inevitable here in the West.   New in the Ban Brief: If you abhor chemical attacks, support a ban on nuclear weapons Tim Wright   Tim Wright returns to the Ban Brief with an observation: Why won't leaders who condemn chemical weapons also condemn nukes? The Bulletin's Ban Brief offers regular updates on the negotiations, background, and implications of the UN treaty to ban nuclear weapons. Negotiations on the treaty return to UN headquarters in June.     The Nuclear Requiem   Bob Frye's The Nuclear Requiem is now airing on PBS nationwide. WYCC has a broadcast scheduled for 8 p.m. on April 30th, with WTTW airing it on the same day at 6 p.m. Or watch online anytime at PBS. Check out the film's website or Facebook page for more details.     The next Nuclear Posture Review: Bring in State, Energy and allies   Anna Péczeli   What does the future hold for the US nuclear posture under President Trump? Clearly, changes are afoot.     New Voices of Tomorrow essay: A march through time: Historical perspective on the March for Science   Ingrid Ockert   A young historian ponders the implications of the March for Science: Perhaps little will change in day-to-day public policy. On the other hand...   What We're Reading   Lucien Crowder   Wednesday marked the 31st anniversary of the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power facility in Ukraine, which scattered radiation over a vast area and caused a number of deaths that is still hotly debated. Read Lucien Crowder's short collection of Bulletin writings on the accident, and be sure to examine our interactive database on nuclear power reactor construction, developed by World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR) and Visionscarto, with support from the Pulitzer Center on Investigative Reporting.     March for Science Chicago tops 60K   The March for Science Chicago made history as 60,000 Chicagoans took to the streets as part of a global effort to show that scientific progress matters. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was well represented, as interns, board, and staff came out to work a booth at the Science Expo on Museum Campus at the end of the March route.  You can still watch the video of  a "Fireside Chat" on the March for Science Chicago Facebook page. and be sure to watch this short video produced by the March for Science London, featuring Science and Security Board member Ray Pierrehumbert. Would you like a t-shirt like modeled above by the Bulletin's Kendal Gladish, Bill Revelle, and Lydia Veliko? This t-shirt is complimentary with a donation of $100 or more. Get one while supplies last!     More people are spending more time on our site than ever before. To continue to provide valuable information, and ensure we are there for decision makers when they call seeking expertise, we need your support more than ever.     Can we govern emerging technologies?   The March/April issue of the Bulletin’s digital journal is now available! Read it before our next special issue posts in May.
