Safina’s Spring Writing Roundup
Throughout April, Dr. Safina was called on to offer his expert opinion on topics ranging from the anniversary of the Gulf of Mexico oil rig blowout, the radioactive water leak at Japan’s quake- and tsunami-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor, and the energy crisis.
Safina was interviewed by TV, radio stations and news magazines nationwide, to discuss his new book A Sea in Flames, which chronicles the 2010 oil rig blowout.
