In 1947, the Bulletin created the iconic Doomsday Clock to signal how close humanity was to self-destruction, and it meets every year to determine how much metaphorical time we have to avert global catastrophe. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was created by Manhattan Project scientists based at the University of Chicago who saw an immediate need for a public reckoning in the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The news conference will take place virtually via Zoom. 27, to announce the 2021 time of the Doomsday Clock.
