To Ron Chesser, Carleton Phillips
and Brenda Rodgers, it’s not just a
word. It’s a strategy they’ve employed
for five years to help dismantle former
nuclear facilities in Iraq that were
destroyed during Desert Storm. Thanks
to $2.3 million in grants from the U.S.
Department of State and the United
Kingdom, the team and their students
work to understand the public health
impact of the contamination while
training Iraqi scientists to safely continue
the dismantling process. Their science
is stimulating safer policies and helping
to stabilize a new democratic government
in Iraq – two key ingredients of nationbuilding.
Diplomacy through
science. All in a day’s work at
Texas Tech University.
