“Dr. Edward described his experience as the object of derision by colleagues when he stood up for public welfare, exposing environmental crimes by government engineers, placing himself at great personal, professional, and financial risk by doing so.”
I didn’t get to see this speech, but I wish I had. How awful it must be to experience shame for simply doing what he believed to be right. It takes courage, man. I’m glad to see that he was able to see it for what it was and persevere.
