In April 2007, I was asked to study the science, and testify at a County hearing, supporting or refuting claims made by the National Park Service (NPS) that an oyster farm had been harming the environment and the harbor seals in Drakes Estero (Pt. Reyes National Seashore, West Marin, California). I discovered what I came to believe was intentional misrepresentation of scientific data by NPS. This discovery led me on a three and a half year journey throughout the federal government in search of whether anyone is empowered to enforce the federal scientific misconduct policy. What I found is presented in these videos of my hour-long presentation to the California Council on Science and Technology on October 18, 2010.

I am a scientist, educator, and biotech entrepreneur. With a B.S. from Stanford and Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley, I spent 25 years as a biology professor at Stanford and Berkeley, where I co-founded the Wills Neuroscience Institute. I am currently on the faculty of U.C. San Francisco. I am an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and American Philosophical Society. I moved into biotech to apply biomedical discoveries to human and environmental health, co-founded three biotech companies, served as CEO of one of them, and later became President of Pfizer's Biotherapeutics and Bioinnovation Center. Today I am a Managing Director and co-founder of venBio, Board Chair of six biotech companies, and Board member of two others. Amongst my many public policy roles, I am on the Board of the California Council on Science and Technology, Pacific Institute, Bay Area Science and Innovation Consortium, and am former Chair of the National Research Council's (NAS) Board on Life Sciences. I am also Chair of Marin Media Institute. My wife and I have lived in West Marin since 1993 where Marcia oversees Barinaga Ranch, farmstead sheep dairy, and produces artisanal sheep cheese.On Saturday, April 28, 2007, I got a call from my Marin County Supervisor asking for my help with a controversy concerning science and public policy. When I agreed to study the science, and testify at a County hearing ten days later, I thought I was volunteering to help my County Supervisor for a week or two. Little did I know that this would take me on a three and a half year journey. I have remained involved because I feel compelled to speak out for good science instructing public policy. I have testified that "I believe that public policy decisions can and should be informed by quality science, that is conducted rigorously, without agendas or conflicts-of-interest. The political process can be dangerously misled by bad or misused science." When I first got involved, I had never met the owner of the oyster farm. From my perspective, this isn't about oysters or seals; that is the local issue, but this has much broader significance. Rather, this case is about how our federal government -- in particular the National Park Service -- has misused and abused science to support a pre-determined policy agenda, and the realization that no one within NPS or the Department of Interior seems to care about scientific integrity. My journey led to the discovery that for the past decade, Interior has lacked a scientific integrity policy
