This project challenged me to dig deep and open up for the importance of science as never before. To learn more, please visit the Let Science Speak website, where you can watch each of the six extraordinary movies made by the teams at Generous Films and A+B Pictures: Christine Arena, Ben Heretig, Adam Warmington, Matthew Shambroom, Amber Janis and more. I’m humbled and proud to share the screen with Katherine Hayhoe, Marshall Shepherd, Jacquelin Gill, Dawn Wright and Jon Foley — five remarkable scientists and people who are and have been frequent sources of inspiration.

Let Science Speak was originally published in State Factors on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
