The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is a nonprofit organization founded in 1945 by scientists who helped develop the atomic bomb. Its primary goal is to raise awareness about global security issues, particularly nuclear weapons and climate change. One of its well-known features is the "Doomsday Clock," which symbolizes how close humanity is to catastrophe, with midnight representing crisis. The Bulletin publishes research, articles, and reports to inform policymakers and the public about threats to safety and security, advocating for measures to reduce these risks and promote a safer, more sustainable world.
