Science Communication Both an Opportunity and an Obligation
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
In the 1980s I was working in the middle of nowhere to build Louisiana's first marine laboratory. We had two new research vessels in the works, but before they were in the water, my colleagues and I were working farther offshore in the Gulf of Mexico than we should have, in small boats on unpredictable seas. We were beginning to document a disturbing region in the Gulf where the oxygen is depleted from bottom waters during the summer.

Oil spill commission praises industry, Obama administration, but faults Congress for inaction
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
WASHINGTON -- More stringent regulations by the Obama administration and safety "lessons learned by industry" have contributed to make offshore drilling much safer than it was three years ago when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, according to the independent White House commission that examined the disaster. But the commission, in a report released Wednesday (April 17), faults Congress for failing to enact a single regulatory change or to raise the liability limits for major spills.

New Science Standards Aim to Relate Concepts to Students' Lives
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
A consortium of science and education organizations has released the first set of science standards since the original set prepared by the National Research Council and the American Association for Advancement in Science 15 years ago. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) aim to incorporate the scientific community's understanding of science as it has grown and changed.
