I'm humbled to be recognized for a 2015 "Charlie" conservation award this year.  The award recipients are all amazing conservation leaders and friends. It's an honor to be recognized in their company.

"We live in a world saturated with information. We have virtually unlimited amounts of data at our fingertips at all times, and we're well versed in the arguments about the dangers of not knowing enough and not doing our home-work. But what I have sensed is the enormous frustration with the unexpected costs of knowing too much, of being inundated with information. We have come to confuse information with understanding."  Malcolm Gladwell, 2005 (Blink)

Science should drive conservation policy in Florida, not party politics.
