How are our nuclear weapons choices decided? Who gets a say in making the knowledge that is used to justify these choices? Emma Belcher discusses these questions with Dr. Benoit Pelopidas, founding director of the Nuclear Knowledges program at Sciences Po (CERI) in Paris. On Early Warning, Alex Hall sits down with Dr. Bridget Conley, research director at the World Peace Foundation. She discusses how civilians are protected under the laws of war, and the intersection between nuclear weapons and genocide.
An engaging podcast on nuclear policy and national security, Press the Button is co-hosted by defense experts Tom Collina and Michelle Dover of Ploughshares Fund, a global security foundation.

I love working at the @FletcherSchool. I'm acutely aware of how fortunate I am to do so now with tenure. I owe so much to mentors, colleagues, and all those from whom I have learned and who have helped me along the way. It's on me to pay that forward and I will strive to do so.

@WorldPeaceFdtn The Tigrayan, most resilient, farmers should be allowed to produce food at least for inhabitants of war torn areas. Their perseverance & site-appropriate agroecological food systems that build food sovereignty should be respected & preserved as well.
