🚨 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.

Oppenheimer has become a folk hero. Kids should embrace his complexity
Oppenheimer was first a brilliant scientist, then a war hero, then a political traitor, then a nobody, then a martyr, now a cultural icon. He must be taught about in his full complexity.

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.
It's happening! I am so excited to be part of the team that is relaunching the Nuclear Times! This groundbreaking magazine was pivotal in "informing, inspiring, and galvanizing people to action." More information on our launch and subscription services to come.
