Gender Champions in Nuclear Policy 2019 Impact Report Launch

-

On May 28, as a Visiting Fellow at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at Monterey, I was privileged to participate in a very educative webinar, which showcased the work of certain passionate champions seeking to improve and increase the roles of women in nuclear policy and decisions. 
Nuclear policy issues has tended to be a male dominated arena, with mainly only males at the table. Champions make commitments such as not participating in any single gender committee, board, organizations or initiatives.



Watch the launch of the Gender Champions in Nuclear Policy (GCNP) 2019 Impact Report, measuring progress made during its first year in advancing gender equity in the nuclear policy field. Moderated by GCNP Co-Founder and Ploughshares Fund's Michelle Dover, this panel includes GCNP Co-Founder Laura Holgate, NTI Co-Chair Ernest J. Moniz, Ploughshares Fund President Joe Cirincione, and NTI Program Officer Jack Brosnan. Read the full report here: https://bit.ly/2M8F5cw.

Remebering Warren Elliot Henry - Pioneer African-American Superconductivity Physicist

Born on February 18, 1909 in rural Evergreen, Alabama, Warren Elliot Henry was an African American physicist and educator who spent almost seven decades working in the fields of magnetism and superconductivity. Henry earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the Tuskegee Institute in 1931, his master’s in organic chemistry from Atlanta University in 1937, and his doctorate in physical chemistry from the University of Chicago in 1941. During World War II, he returned to teach at Tuskegee, where his students included the black military pilots who would become famous as the Tuskegee Airmen. In 1943 he was recruited to work at MIT’s Radiation Laboratory to develop video amplifiers for radar. After the war, Henry continued to work in both academia and industry. He served on the faculties of several schools, including Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Howard University, from which he retired as professor emeritus in 1977. From 1948 to 1960, Henry worked at the Naval Researc

Developing Countries Beware of Some Western Products: They are Not Eating Many of the Foods or Using Many of the Products They’re Dumping at Us the Same Time They’re Taking Some of Our Best: Part I

It is not my purpose here to provoke an unnecessary hysteria regarding some imported products we might believe are luxury items simply because they are imported or are, thus, regarded as “big man’s” foods and products. However, I feel persuaded to bring to light certain issues that are negatively affecting our lives in Nigeria and other developing countries. My urge to proffer these suggestions does not only stem from what I have read in published data, but from my personal experience and observation, being a citizen and resident of Nigeria and having travelled widely around the world. I have been shocked as I saw how the “Oyinbos” live and contrasted it with how we, in the developing countries are living, and how our lives are being cut short while life in the West is elongating. Well, we all know that longevity is as a result of the interplay of many factors. Like I mentioned above, the Western countries are progressively experiencing a remarkable increase in their life expec
