Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

One of my absolute favorite art pieces from my collection “Before They Are Gone” - a hand wood burned & painted design of an endangered Hawksbill sea turtle. I hope to create more art this year that brings awareness to some of our environmental issues… anything in particular you’d like to see? 🦑

I’ve got a great idea for this & love that this is something being offered! Citizen science and SciCom are more crucial than ever.
BIG NEWS!

For the first time ever, Skype a Scientist is offering mini-grants to support IRL science communication!

Communicating science out in our communities is critical. We want to enable folks from around the US to get local projects off the ground.
