General Groves invented the Atomic Bomb, not Oppenheimer
By Peder Anker | July 21, 2025

[Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists @BulletinAtomic]

Many narrators continue to portray Oppenheimer as the father of the atomic bomb. But crediting him was part of a strategy to make nuclear weapons look like an unambiguous force of good—not of evil, writes @pederanker.

[François Diaz-Maurin - @francoisdm.bsky.social @francoisdm]

In a second essay, @pederanker argues that Oppenheimer was being used by US officials as part of a strategy to make nuclear weapons look like an unambiguous force of good—not of evil.

Can the ocean remember for us? At Venice Biennale 2024, Coding Plants by Terreform ONE stores design ideas in kelp DNA. A living reef becomes a memory archive—art, science & sea meet. #BlueHumanities in action.
