[Coral-List] Coral-List News

[Steve Mussman]

Seems a Coral-List discussion on sunscreens served as a catalyst for a recent article in the Washington Post.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/sunscreen-bans-aimed-at-protecting-coral-reefs-spark-debate--among-scientists/2019/03/15/b35d4030-4512-11e9-8aab-95b8d80a1e4f_story.html

The comments left by readers are of particular interest as they reveal how the public reacts to scientific debate. 

Here’s a couple that say a lot about the need for more concise communication.

 “What is it, climate change or sunscreen?  Both?  I hate it when there is no consensus”.

 “Is coral a smart rock or a stupid animal”?

Regards,
Steve
