If this is a topic you feel strongly about, no matter who you are, you can make a difference. And there are many ways to do so.

• Never Forget: Smallpox-infected blankets, WWI's chlorine, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Halabja, Sarin in Tokyo's subway, the Moscow theatre siege
• do not undertake research that is instrumental, even minutely, to the support of WMDs
• undertake research that helps the disarmament process
• apply for funding from the The MacArthur Foundation
• join or donate to an established anti-WMD organization
• write your government representative, in whatever is your home country
• understand the issues
• share your knowledge with others and engage in constructive dialogue
• write letters to the editor of your local newspaper if the opportunity arises
• enourage your university to refuse research that in some way supports WMDs
