Hi Andy -- As always you raise questions that highlight the many complexities and paradoxes that are endemic to complex political debates that draw on the authority of scientific expertise to resolve - whether it is the controversy over social media and teens or managing climate-related risks. As I relaunch my Substack next week (Mon. July 12) a main focus will be these specific debates but more generally the politics of expertise relative to complex policy choices. For a preview of these themes, readers should check out this past essay at my Substack: https://mattnisbet.substack.com/p/the-cayuga-lake-nuclear-debate
