I came to view my work with Hiroshima survivors in 1962 as not only a scientific study but a form of bearing witness to what the bomb did to human beings in that city. I tried to bring professional knowledge and experience to that effort, to become what I later called a witnessing professional. Nuclear and climate issues interacted in that early study, and have continued to be inseparable for all of us. I draw upon examples of witnessing professionals over the course of our struggles with these two planetary threats. In each case, they had to expose and combat the malignant normality, the dangerous prevailing assumptions and narratives, of their time. In that way, these professionals have contributed to important social movements. They have also deepened–as we too can–the ethical dimensions of professional work.

关于成为证人的专业人士

我开始将我在1962年与广岛幸存者的工作视为一项科学研究，不仅是该炸弹对那个城市中的人类所做的见证。我试图将专业知识和经验带给这一工作，后来成为后来的见证专家。核与气候问题在该早期研究中相互作用，并且对于我们所有人而言仍然是不可分割的。我以在这两个星球威胁的斗争过程中见证专业人士为例。在每种情况下，他们都必须揭露并抵抗其时代的恶性常态，危险的普遍假设和叙述。这样，这些专业人员为重要的社会运动做出了贡献。它们也（我们也一样）加深了专业工作的道德层面。
