A friend sent me this article on the #TurkeyEarthquake knowing of my #envhist research on #earthquakes. I got all excited by the title but what a bad piece…

All about geology, not a word on building codes, the war, infrastructural neglect, and other factors that are decades in the making and might explain the #disaster. The author should attend my course on #disasters! 😂

Re-upping #introduction for new folks/year.

I am a historian of science & technology at #Hiroshima Peace Institute & Grad School of #Peace Studies. My book *Nuclear bodies: the global hibakusha* (Yale 2022) surveys harm from nuclear production, weapon testing, & reactor accidents across the globe, & medical models that obscure harm from fallout particles.

Collecting oral histories in 20+ countries , I examine how communities, families and interior psychology suffer via exposures.

I track nuclear #colonialism (selecting the irradiated) arguing the #ColdWar was a limited# nuclear war against these populations.

I also explore our relationship to our HL nuclear waste, asserting it is how our descendants will know us. Our choices now reveal our lack of consideration of the 1000s of generations of living beings for whom this waste is already a part of their world.

Previous life: l was a chef & worked in the #organic food business
