Hi
John,
We’re excited to bring you a brand new episode of The Breast Cancer Action Podcast. ([link removed])

This episode, The Risks of Sidelining Science—From the Coronavirus to Breast Cancer ([link removed]) , couldn’t be more timely. Karuna talked to Michael Halpern of the Union of Concerned Scientists about the vital link between science and democracy and the risks of politicizing science.

Sidelining science is nothing new—from claims that abortion causes breast cancer to attempts by industry polluters to downplay environmental links to cancer. And right now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the risks and impact on real people’s lives are on stark display.

Listen to Karuna and Michael's discussion in our new episode ([link removed]) , and learn how the EPA is taking advantage of the public focus on COVID-19 to try to establish the Censored Science Rule, which would limit government scientists’ access to environmental health data used to regulate polluting industries and protect the public. (You can tell the EPA what you think about this dangerous rule by taking action here ([link removed]) ).

And be sure to check out these earlier Breast Cancer Action podcast episodes ([link removed]) ([link removed]) where we bring you conversations about breast implants, toxic “forever chemicals,” and why so many people living with breast cancer detest the color pink.
