With the Doomsday Clock at 85 seconds to Midnight, George Wills said: “Every every moment of every day, the end of the world is two hours away.” Top secret expert Daniel Ellsberg, in the final weeks of his life, created a 29-minute film to educate the public on nuclear risk and urgency. In this session we will watch and discuss the film and talk about legislative efforts in Annapolis.

I was an Anesthesiologist at University of Maryland for 33 years, retiring in 2013. Now I see myself as a big-picture Public Health doctor in that I am active in Chesapeake Physicians for Social Responsibility, working on efforts to reduce risks of nuclear war and effects of our climate crisis, plus other health, environmental, and social concerns.
