When courts and politicians—not scientists—get the final say, we all pay the price. My new @thehill op-ed breaks down why the end of Chevron deference puts our food, water, and health at risk. Read it here:thehill.com/opinion/judiciar…

Started with NOAA Fisheries. Now every agency is in the crosshairs. FDA, EPA, even your local drinking water. If you think the end of Chevron won’t touch you, think again. [thehill.com/opinion/judiciar…]

Want to know what happens when science takes a back seat to politics? Read my new op-ed on the Supreme Court’s Chevron ruling and the risk to our most basic protections. thehill.com/opinion/judiciar… @SCOTUSblog @CSPI @Public_Health @NRDC @politico @DrCaliffFDA
For 40 years, agency experts could interpret the laws that keep our food & water safe. That era is over. What’s next for public health in America? My take in @thehill: [thehill.com/opinion/judiciar…]

“Bill Nye said yes. NOAA said nothing.
That missed opportunity wasn’t personal — it was systemic.
Science doesn’t speak for itself. That’s the whole problem.”

Replying to @GallaudetTim
Great points made here. Thanks for sharing and thanks @DavidRuck for the writing up this perspective. NOAA keeps things running smoothly in the Great Lakes region — we can’t afford to lose them!
If you’ve never seen the inside of a NOAA ship, lab, or algae-slicked shoreline—
That’s what I’ve spent my career documenting.
These are the stories most people never see, and now might never get told.
Watch what’s at stake: greatlakesoutreach.com
I’ve spent years filming inside NOAA labs and field stations.
The scientists aren’t media-trained. They’re mission-driven.
If their work vanishes from public view, the public won’t know what it’s lost—until it’s too late.
Science doesn’t speak for itself.
And assuming it does? That’s how we lose NOAA, climate resilience, and public trust.
