Brown’s lecture, “When History and Biology Collide: Chornobyl and the Making of a Disaster,” will be the keynote lecture of the first day of the event.

Then, on October 13, Brown will give a lecture entitled “Irrevocable: The Life-Changing, Society-Altering Significance of Plutonium in the US and USSR” at the College of William and Mary.
