- Helen Broinowski Caldicott was born on August 7, 1938, Melbourne, Vic., Australia. Australian-born American physician and activist whose advocacy focused on the medical and environmental hazards of nuclear weapons. She graduated in 1961 from the University of Adelaide Medical School with Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degrees (the equivalent of an American M.D.). She began her antinuclear activism in 1971. In 1975 Caldicott and her family moved to the United States. Settling in Boston, she became an associate at Children's Hospital Medical Center and an instructor in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School (1977-80). In 1978 Caldicott revived an organization known as Physicians for Social Responsibility and redirected its focus to the health risks posed by nuclear power. She founded a Washington, D.C., lobbying group, Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament, in 1980 ( (Encyclopaedia Britannica website, February 11, 2015) )
