Good morning twitter! I'm @mariarostrublee Associate Prof at @MonashUni @MonashPolsIR in International Relations, where I teach & do research on international security -- especially related to #nuclear I look forward to sharing my day with you for @nuclearsciweek #WiNTakeOver22
@mariarostrublee @MonashUni @MonashPolsIR @nuclearsciweek I'm working from home today in the gorgeous city of Melbourne, so I started off with a walk with my amazing dog Champ, who is now enjoying a bit of a nap.
@mariarostrublee @MonashUni @MonashPolsIR @nuclearsciweek I'm an expert in #nuclear politics, rather than #nuclearscience -- and I'm delighted to share how the field needs fantastic women in nuclear policy and analysis

Today marks the 76th anniversary of the very first @UN General Assembly resolution, Res 1 (I), adopted following the 1945 Hiroshima & Nagasaki atomic bombings, on the elimination of atomic weapons and all other major weapons adaptable to mass destruction. (1/4)👇
On this occasion, see @UNIC_Tokyo’s video story about @Anju_niwata, a university student from Hiroshima, who uses AI technology to colorize black & white photographs to reboot and keep alive memories of the Hibakusha, the atomic bomb survivors👉 bit.ly/3G0CD1g.(2/4)
Anju’s “Rebooting Memories" project is one of many examples of #youth empowerment through #education, allowing young people to play a key role towards #disarmament, peace and development, which is the spirit with which we also mark the International Day of Education today. (3/4)

#Greens call for a more active #German foreign policy & above all for a strengthening of the #EU. Franco-German cooperation 🇫🇷🇩🇪 referenced along mside a #transatlantic approach. Issue of systemic rivalry with authoritarians highlighted.
2019 is the 50th edition of the #SIPRIYearbook. Join SIPRI as we celebrate the occasion with a 50-day countdown and share the history of the Yearbook over the past 50 years. Watch the introductory video with SIPRI Director @dansmith2020:
The first #SIPRIYearbook was published in 1969 with the aim ‘to produce a factual and balanced account of a controversial subject—the arms race and attempts to stop it’. The rise in world military spending and disarmament efforts, including the #NPT, take central focus.
'In whatever way the nuclear situation is examined, the inescapable feature is what enormous quantities of weapons have been amassed' – Movement towards a first-strike capability by the #US and #USSR, the #SALT talks and European security were a focus of the 1970 #SIPRIYearbook.

2) She married my Dad, an American AF AP in Germany in 1951. Immigrated & became an American citizen & was until the day she died, Dec 2, 2015; 64 yrs
Not one day did she ever want to talk about her life in Hitler Jungen, but said loud speakers bellowing rhetoric drove her crazy

3) That’s me on the right, my daughter in the middle, who is now 35 with kids of her own. We were stationed in Germany for 3 1/2 Years at Giebelstadt Air Base near Würzburg. She visited us from the States.
Look closely at my mother, then look at the Nazi photo. It’s her.
