The Leak: Politics, Activists, and Loss of Trust at Brookhaven National Laboratory with Peter Bond (Zoom Virtual Event)

Tuesday, October 3 at 7:00pm (Zoom Virtual Event).

The discovery of a leak at Brookhaven National Laboratory 25 years ago ignited a political and media firestorm that resulted in the firing of the lab's contractor, the termination of scientific instruments, and threats to close the lab itself. Peter Bond, co-author of The Leak, a retired physicist who worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory for 43 years in a wide variety of roles, including interim laboratory director, takes a look at what really happened.
