Previous News for May 1999 Next Pugwash calls for new roles for Aldermaston 21 May 1999 A new report by the Pugwash, the international peace movement of scientists, has called for Aldermaston - the UK's nuclear weapons laboratory - to become more like weapons labs in the US and to carry out research on nuclear arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament. At present the only such activity performed at Aldermaston is forensic seismology - the detection of nuclear explosions. The report, Verifying Nuclear Disarmament: A Role for AWE Aldermaston According to the report, a shift in emphasis towards disarmament and verification programmes at Aldermaston would help the UK to carry out its obligations under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT). The treaty states that nuclear weapon countries should pursue a policy of eliminating nuclear weapons. By involving Aldermaston with similar programmes in Russia and the US, the report argues, AWE could help build new trust mechanisms between the nuclear states. These new roles would also help Russia safeguard its nuclear materials and prevent them from falling into the hands of 'rogue states' or terrorist groups. Another benefit, according to the Pugwash report, would be to attract more high-calibre scientists to Aldermaston. Last year the UK government set up a pilot study to investigate the possibility of establishing an arms control and disarmament group at Aldermaston as part of the strategic defence review. The report is due out next spring.

She determined the structure of cholesteryl iodide by x-ray diffraction in 1941-42 (published in 1945) in complete three-dimensional detail, at a time when no one else was determining complex structures in three dimensions because of the formidable calculations involved. Determined the structure of penicillin in 1944 (published in 1949), again in three-dimensional detail. Before her work there was only fragmentary and conflicting evidence on the structure, from chemical analysis, of this rather unstable molecule, which was of immense importance as an antibiotic during and immediately after World War II. Determined the structure of vitamin B-12 in 1956, using one of the first high-speed digital computers. This was by far the most complex molecule whose three-dimensional architecture had been established, and some of its unusual structural features were quite unanticipated.

Cyrus S. Eaton Sowing Seeds for Nobel Peace Prize (1883-1979) The town of Pugwash, Nova Scotia, became a world-famous community because a business tycoon, born there in 1883, volunteered funds and hosted a group of 22 scientists from around the world at his Pugwash summer home in 1957. The host was Cyrus S. Eaton, one of North America’s most successful businessmen, but controversial because of his friendship with Russian and Cuban Communist leaders. Eaton became the sponsor of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs when British philosopher Bertrand Russell encouraged a meeting of scientists from around the world to speak out on the proliferation of the atomic bomb. Funds were needed to make such a meeting possible. When a proposal to meet in India fell through, Russell had two other options: to accept an offer made by Aristotle Onassis, the Greek shipping magnate, or one by Cyrus Eaton, the Cleveland businessman who had already held a number of conferences at his summer home in Pugwash. Russell chose Eaton’s offer to pay travel expenses and host the event. After a three-day meeting in July 1957 that brought together scientists from the U.S.A., China, Russia, Great Britain, France, and several other countries, the name Pugwash was adopted in the title for future conferences with Eaton readily agreeing to sponsor a second session the following year at Lac Beauport, Quebec.

Holdren Chairs Group That Shares in Peace Prize by Jacqueline Frost This year's Nobel Peace Prize has a strong campus connection. The Nobel Committee on Oct. 13 awarded the prize to the Pugwash Conferences on Sciences and World Affairs and its founder, British physicist Joseph Rotblat. Berkeley Professor John Holdren is chair of the group's executive committee. The Nobel committee commended the group's "efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms." "It may be hoped that the award will also serve as a reminder that the work to reduce the dangers of nuclear weapons is not finished, in a broader sense than just the matter of nuclear testing," said Holdren, who will take part in the Nobel ceremony in Oslo, Norway, Dec. 10. "Too many people believe that the end of the Cold War has meant the end of the nuclear threat. "But there are still tens of thousands of nuclear weapons in the world," said Holdren, an international expert and adviser on energy policy and the environment. He serves on President Clinton's Committee of Advisers on Science and Technology.

Home Publications November 2000 Newsletter Pugwash Holds 50th Conference In 1955, Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell issued the now-famous manifesto that warned of the dangers of nuclear war and called on fellow scientists to help governments "find peaceful means for the settlement of all matters of dispute between them." Their proclamation led to the creation of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs to bring together, from around the world, influential scholars and public figures concerned with reducing the danger of armed conflict and seeking cooperative solutions for global problems. The American Academy sponsors the U.S. Pugwash Committee In August of this year, Pugwash marked its 50th Conference by revisiting the central theme of the Einstein-Russell manifesto: " Eliminating the Causes of War ." More than 150 scientists, scholars, and policymakers from 47 countries assembled at Queens College, Cambridge, United Kingdom, to identify current threats to peace in a nuclear age. To end "the scourge of war," the Pugwash Council called on the international community to "broaden democratic norms of governance, to strengthen international institutions and the rule of law, to reduce global inequities that often spark conflict, and above all to work for the application of science for the benefit of humanity."

imperial college student pugwash science, ethics, world affairs About Pugwash The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs The Pugwash Movement was inspired by the Russell-Einstein manifesto (1955) , which called upon scientists to assemble to discuss the threat posed to civilization by the advent of thermonuclear weapons. Since the first meeting in 1957, Pugwash Conferences bring together scientists and scholars from around the world aiming to find ways to reduce the danger of armed conflict and seeking cooperative solutions to global problems. The Pugwash Movement demonstrates an increasing awareness of the scientists' moral duty to consider the ethical implications of their work. In 1995 Pugwash was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize conjointly with its president Joseph Rotblat. Student Pugwash International Student/Young Pugwash (IS/YP) began in 1978, when a student had the opportunity to attend the annual Pugwash Conference in Bulgaria. Inspired by the unique international dialogue of the Pugwash Conference, this young participant saw a need to bring together young people and professionals in order to examine and discuss critical global issues. As a result, in 1979 Student/Young Pugwash organizations were founded in the USA and Canada. Since that time, national Student/Young Pugwash groups have been initiated in over 20 countries, coordinating a variety of activities on science and world affairs. In some cases, members of Pugwash have been directly involved in the creation and development of national Student/Young Pugwash groups.

IN THE EARLY DAYS OF HIS RESEARCH, JOHN POLANYI MADE MOVIES OF HIS WORK. He compiled them into what he calls "a lovely 40-minute film" in which the subjects "embrace and kiss." The image of lovers comes immediately to mind – but this is not the topic of John Polanyi’s tale of discovery. Infrared chemiluminescence, which earned Polanyi the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1986, essentially illuminates molecules to show how they vibrate and rotate during a chemical reaction. In doing so, the technique gives scientists crucial information about how these reactions work. Equally interesting is what he has achieved outside the lab, shaping ideas and opinions on a range of issues in science and beyond. Influenced by an early family life in England filled with discussions about political and social issues, a young Polanyi believed strongly in the responsibility of scientists to contribute to the world outside the lab. And it was this conviction that would shape his career and broaden the impact he has had as a scientist. Nuclear weapons had begun to cause alarm in various circles, including a group of scientists who gathered to discuss the issue in Pugwash, N.S. in 1957. This was the beginning of the now-famous Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, attended by influential scholars, government officials and public figures from around the world. So successful are the Conferences that they were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995.
