Ruth Bader Ginsburg established an environmental legacy second to none on the Supreme Court. I’ve explored her legacy by examining a few of her important environmental cases. It meant reading some of her opinions written on key environmental cases over the past 20 years.

To stop the spread of the virus, contact tracing needs to be expanded and supported. But will it?
Face masks are one of the most effective ways to protect others and yourself from being infected by COVID-19. In this post I'll discuss how face masks are not only a crucial health standard, they are also supported by science research, and provide a way to express...
