It's Not a Lecture: For the love of science

About Me

My name is David Wescott. I'm a creative public affairs professional who advocates for science, market-based environmentalism, and feminism. I work for a DC-based global communications firm, but the opinions expressed here are mine alone.

I'm an occasional contributor to blogs that reflect my interests - Science Cheerleader, Earth & Industry, The Broad Side, and Global Voices Online. I'm also an advisory board member at Blog With Integrity. I helped build my company's blog, Virtual Vantage Points, and I sometimes chip in at PR publications such as The Firm Voice, PRSA's Strategist and Tactics.

My background is a bit varied. I have worked for a United States Senator, a statewide business advocacy group, and a pediatrics department in a public hospital. The toughest job I've ever had was little league umpire.
