Thrilled to be attending the kickoff of the @BASIC_int 2023 Emerging Voices Network! I’m looking forward to spending the next six months supporting the working group focused on challenging racism and white supremacy in nuclear weapons policy-making #EVNLaunch23@EVN_nuclear
1/7 BASIC and @iccs_bham have commissioned five experts from across the Asia-Pacific to contribute to our series on Reflecting on the Value of Thinking about Risk Reduction and Security in the Asia-Pacific in terms of #NuclearResponsibilities. A THREAD 🧵
The FBI warned of a dirty bomb threat in the US last week. This part of a growing domestic threat that @scottroecker and I wrote about in @BulletinAtomic. https://t.co/KL8EnAzqcX
This is an excellent & thoroughly researched paper @WMDgirl on AI, submarine stealth, vulnerabilities & strategic stability. Pleased to be quoted. I emphasize the need for a code of conduct for the employment of #emergingtechnologies for surveillance missions. Give it a read.👇
After four decades, 17000 chemical weapons originally stored in Kentucky have been destroyed. I’ll be live tonight on @ABC36News with more details about the elimination of the VX weapons
Pleased to see this published- I wrote a long review of the excellent documentary “The Mole: Undercover in North Korea” - which had its US premier a couple of months ago, was released in the UK and elsewhere in late 2020 https://t.co/5Ed2BxeFn3 1/6
This means that modernization attempts - such as developing a globally competitive high-tech sector in emerging technologies such as quantum computing and communications, face an even more of an uphill battle. 13/13 https://t.co/GTI1Hdn2ZK
I'm looking to connect with academics and researchers in the following countries who are interested in export control and nonpro topics. Please reach out! Brazil, Chile, Egypt, India, Kenya, Morocco, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey.
Kharkiv nuclear center this morning inspected sub-critical assembly, found only superficial damage, radiological situation normal, after shelling on 3/6. Unit was preparing for initial operation on 2/24 when nuclear fuel apparently protectively removed https://t.co/qnP5I3lAN5
Combine this with the earlier tweet - nearest bulk Russian force at least 50km from Kyiv. Also does not show amphibious landing which someone just said might be under way west of Maraiupol. Proud of my former colleagues at UK MOD for working to put such info out.
For anyone still confused: a country whose people voted by over 90 per cent for independence thirty years ago, is now threatened with extinction by a nuclear-armed kleptocrat. There's not much room for nuance here.
In my latest @theELN, I write about #deepfakes, the challenge of digital manipulation, it’s impact on
-nuclear policy making
-nuclear postures,doctrines,& signaling
-nuclear command,control, & communication(NC3)
-&cite example from the #Pulwama#Balakot crisis 2019, #SouthAsia
Excited to see my recent book "Secrecy, Public Relations and the British Nuclear Debate" released in much cheaper paperback format today -https://t.co/grwydsbkm3
