Hello all,
The author Paul Greenberg (of Four Fish fame) is friendly with my boss, Ray Hilborn. Greenberg interviewed Ray for an op-ed he published in the New York Times advocating for a bottom trawl ban. The op-ed was misinformed and missed a few obvious fact-checks, but I was particularly upset with how Greenberg dismissed Ray and science as a whole.
Ray is my boss and Science is my creed, so I felt compelled to defend both in response.
Here is my latest article: Fact-checking Paul Greenberg's op-ed in the New York Times
I hope you enjoy it as much as it was cathartic for me to write.
All the best,
Max
p.s. here's my favorite line from the piece and one of my favorite sentences I've ever written: "Science should inform policy by clarifying what is known, what remains uncertain, and the likely consequences and tradeoffs of different choices."
