一代人以前，原子科学家紧急委员会（Emergency Committee of the Atomic Scientists）经过五年的努力，向美国公众讲述了他们对新生的核时代的希望和恐惧，准备解散时，该委员会主席为他帮助创办的杂志写了一封推荐信。“它已成为美国和国外广泛认可的最好和最完整的权威信息来源的社会方面的原子能，”他写道，“作为一个论坛讨论相关问题，开放给所有的观点在这一领域举行的美国和外国的自然和社会科学家。“于是，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和他的同事们把1945年8月6日开始的对广岛市的授权交给了《原子科学家公报》。任务很简单：成为国际科学界的良心。今天，进入核时代30年，爱因斯坦和其他通过释放原子能改变世界的科学家的精神仍然存在于《原子科学家公报》中，该公报将科学与新闻、分析与论证、科学家与非科学家、光明的希望与可怕的警告、原子能与各种各样的其他问题结合在一起，这些问题涉及科学和技术对公共事务的影响。每年在芝加哥大学出版10次（省略7月和8月），全球发行量为25,000份，包括3,500个机构，其中大多数是图书馆。它的读者范围从诺贝尔奖获得者，参议员和内阁官员到高中生，农民和卡车司机，很少或根本没有受过正规的科学教育。
A generation ago, when the Emergency Committee of the Atomic Scientists was preparing to disband after five years of efforts to tell the American public about its hopes and fears for the newly-born nuclear age, the chairman of the committee wrote a testimonial letter for the magazine he had helped to found." It has become widely recognized in America and abroad as the best and most complete source of authoritative information on the social aspects of atomic energy," he wrote," and as a forum for the discussion of the relevant problems, open to all points of view held in this field by American and foreign natural and social scientists." With that, Albert Einstein and his colleagues turned over to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists a mandate that began on August 6, 1945, over the city of Hiroshima. The mandate was a simple one: Be the conscience of the international scientific community. Today, 30 years into the nuclear age, the spirit of Einstein and the other scientists who changed the world by unleashing atomic energy lives on in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which mixes science with journalism, analysis with argumentation, scientists with nonscientists, bright hopes with dire warnings, and atomic energy with a wide assortment of other issues dealing with the impact of science and technology on public affairs. Published 10 times a year (omitting July and August) at the University of Chicago, it has a worldwide circulation of 25,000, including 3,500 institutions, most of them libraries. Its readers range from Nobel laureates, Senators and cabinet officers to high school students, farmers and truck drivers with little or no formal education in the sciences.
