Nonproliferation experts from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies and its have been the go-to sources this past week for national and international media seeking independent analysis of news and images surrounding North Korea’s nuclear program.

This was especially true over the past weekend as the North Korean regime rolled out a cornucopia of new and existing missile hardware on display in a massive military parade celebrating the 105th anniversary of the birth of the nation’s founding leader Kim Il-sung on April 15. Coverage quoting Institute experts could be seen on CNN, Fox and NBC, heard on NPR, and found in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post, among other outlets.

Among those quoted in recent days—often from their prolific Twitter postings—are:

• Jeffrey Lewis, director, East Asia Nonproliferation Program ()
• Melissa Hanham, senior research associate ()
• Dave Schmerler, research associate ()
• Joshua Pollack, editor of The Nonproliferation Review ()
