The Doomsday Clock:
Why are we at 5 minutes to midnight?
Hyde Park Borders Bookstore
1539 E. 53rd Street, Chicago
For more than 60 years, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist’s Doomsday Clock has charted how close the world stands to nuclear peril. In January, the Bulletin's Board of Directors, in consultation with its Board of Sponsors, which includes 18 Nobel laureates, moved the hands of The Clock forward 2 minutes to 5 minutes to midnight. Find out why these experts fear the world may be entering a second "nuclear age" from Jonas Siegel, editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist, and Josh Schollmeyer, editor of the Bulletin Online.
Presented by the Illinois Science Council in collaboration with The University of Chicago.
