Science Policy Quote of the Month
"In the real world, many risks we face present neither the great certainties we would need to use cost-benefit analysis effectively nor the almost complete uncertainties that would justify radical precautionary approaches. Moreover, neither the precautionary principle nor cost-benefit analysis tell us anything about the role of democracy in making policy decisions.
I am currently working to develop new approaches rooted in deliberative democracy which might move beyond both strict cost-benefit and knee-jerk precaution toward processes that could achieve better public participation and greater political legitimacy on the major environmental threats to our future."
Jonathan Gilligan, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences on his website here.

What a great find and great addition to U.S. Forest Service history!
I had to post comment for the TV news reporter that it was “K.D.” (for Kenneth Dupee) Swan and not “Katie.”
