Pugwash

Pugwash is a non-advocacy, educational organization, Carnegie Mellon Student Pugwash (CMSP) intends to increase student and faculty awareness of the ethical dilemmas created by the interaction of science, technology, medicine, and the arts within contemporary society. To do so, CMSP brings an interdisciplinary perspective to a wide range of issue areas, encompassing fields such as biotechnology, computers in society, management of technology, national security and nuclear weapons, energy, the environment, and social responsibilities to the arts. By organizing activities to generate insight into the responsible management of science, technology, and the arts, CMSP stimulates informed judgment on the critical issues of our time, and, in so doing, bridges the gap between academia and activism.
