FAS Hans A. Bethe Award:
In 2003, the FAS inaugurated the Hans A. Bethe Award. Bethe helped found FAS with the belief that scientists had an obligation to participate in the difficult choices that were forced on our country by the extraordinary advances in nuclear physics so vividly demonstrated by the development and use of atomic weapons. In the sixty years since the founding of the organization, the range and complexity of issues hinging on sound scientific advice has increased.
