Political Initiatives of Scientists: Göttingen Seven, Einstein–Szilard Letter, Franck Report, Göttingen Manifesto, March for Science, Scientists for Future

Authors: Rainer W. Kühne

Scientists do not always live in their ivory tower. In 1837 the Göttingen Seven protested against the abolition or alteration of the constitution of the Kingdom of Hanover. In 1939 the Einstein–Szilard letter suggested that the United States should start its own nuclear program. In 1945 the Franck Report recommended that the United States not use the atomic bomb as a weapon. In 1957 the Göttingen Manifesto protested against arming the West German army with nuclear weapons. In 2017 the March for Science protested in more than 600 cities worldwide against climate change denial. In 2019 Scientists for Future supported the climate activists Fridays for Future. Here I present full lists of the names of the signatories.
