Here’s the schedule for the Physicians for Social Responsibility National Conference 2000, taking place now in Arlington VA. This agency founded in the ’70’s was a unifying vehicle for health professionals’ raising public concerns about nuclear issues, under the powerful histrionic charisma of Australian physician Helen Caldicott. An offshoot organization, the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, won the Nobel Peace Prize several years later. I was proud to collaborate with Caldicott and other inspiring physician activists when I was a medical student, started the PSR chapter at my school and organized a major conference in New Haven CT on the effects of the nuclear arms race on children in the early ’80’s. I was floored, and glad, to come across evidence that the organization still exists and thrives, with an apparently broadened agenda — environmental health, nuclear security and violence prevention.
