🚨 JUST IN: Two essays offer contrasting perspectives about J. Robert Oppenheimer. First, for @ericssinger.bsky.social, now that Oppenheimer has become a folk hero, he must be taught about in his full complexity. (1/2) thebulletin.org/2025/07/oppe... #Oppenheimer #80thAnniversary #nukesky

Oppenheimer has become a folk hero. Kids should embrace his complexity

Oppenheimer was first a brilliant scientist, then a war hero, then a political traitor, then a nobody, then a martyr, now a cultural icon. He must be taught about in his full complexity.

Tomorrow is the 80th anniversary of the world's first atomic bomb test. I wrote about its human impact in today's @washingtonpost.com. wapo.st/44vNOP1 #trinity #oppenheimermovie #nukesky

Oppenheimer and the Atomic Bomb is fascinating biography bit.ly/434h5zB #mglit #yalit

I was telling these kids the other day that they have to not just think about the implications of their work, but imagine the unintended implications. They wanted to know if Oppenheimer did.The answer?It’s complicated.. he experienced competing pressures.It’s hard to see clearly through wind and fog

Wow. Really excited about this.
