I already have that. My university does not allow me to use their affiliation with anything I do in science communication, opinion, etc. I know what it is like to have my plug pulled. The difference is, I was telling the truth based on the best data from a scientific consensus. We were changing the way that scientists, farmers and food industry folks communicated with the public.

As for an advisory board, I’m perfectly fine with a panel of experts helping me shape a message to be more effective. My biggest fear is to say something that is incorrect that might influence others’ decisions. Thanks for your thoughts.
