What's up curious folks! Today is a touchy subject so I tried to mostly just present the ideas and what actually occurred. But with the importance of governmental policy on environmental progress, climate change, and science as a whole, this topic is just too important not to include on the podcast to some extent. This definitely does not encompass everything that happened but I hope to summarize the major points. As always thank you for listening and stay curious!
