“I believe that a science-literate citizen is someone who knows where their water and food come from and recognizes the complexities of the biological systems that keep his/her environment healthy. Most citizens simply do not have the facts. Giving every citizen clear explanations and stories as to how they can help to keep the planet healthy for their grandkids is a critical obligation of us scientists.”
