Powerful words from Governor Newsom of California “The climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. Everything else, you’re playing around the margins, playing around the edges. This is the cause, we’re experiencing the effect, now we seek remedy, & that's what this lawsuit's about."
The state of California is suing five major fossil fuel companies over their contribution to the climate crisis. Just listen to these unflinching words by governor @GavinNewsom. History in the making…. #EndFossilFuel

Words can't express how critical of a role @AdrianaBankston has played in field building in #sciencepolicy. Thank you for your service as JSPG's 3rd CEO. It's been inspiration to see how JSPG has expanded opportunity space for #students and #earlycareer researchers in #scipol!
After five years of dedication and passion, the @SciPolJournal CEO & managing Publisher @AdrianaBankston will step down from her leadership role at JSPG. https://t.co/J0B812V03k

Thrilled that this paper was recognized! One of my first substantive attempts at policy writing, and an important topic to consider as eye-tracking tech becomes more mainstream 👁️
