Want to know more about the historical evidence underlying California's major lawsuit against Big Oil?
For the first time, my doctoral dissertation on Big Carbon's history of climate deception is available to the public.
Read, share, and take action:

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….

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.

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 👁️
