Nuclear war is perhaps something not thought about as much as it should be nowadays but was an important topic when we were younger. Edmund Moynihan gave us a sobering account of the early development of these weapons, the science and technology behind them and the possible results of their use. A talk which was not only about science but also politics and ethics. The talk generated much discussion as one might expect, which was followed by a 10 minute clip of a film for US schools from 1952 on the theme of “protect and survive”. Takes you back!
