Science Magazine Interviews New NTI CEO Ernest J. Moniz
Ernest J. Moniz, who was recently named
chief executive officer and co-chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Nuclear Threat Initiative, spoke
with Science magazine last week about a range of issues, including
U.S. relations with Russia and China, cyber threats, the Iran deal and the
vision of a world without nuclear weapons.
“What I think is really critical, what NTI has done as a do

steps that can be taken in the near and medium term to reducing nuclear
threats,” said Dr. Moniz, who begins as CEO
effective June 1st.
