We screened BURNED for Congress! Still processing from this surreal experience and amazing week in DC. We have so much love, respect and admiration for the incredible team of people that put this together ESPECIALLY DIANE COTTER! 🔥 #burned #congress #documentary #firefighting #activism

"They Thought No One Would Notice... But They Were Wrong." Years ago, a farmer named Wilbur Tennant noticed something horrifying—his cattle were dying, and no one could explain why. He refused to stay silent. That simple decision uncovered a decades-long corporate cover-up, and thanks to the relentless work of Robert Bilott , the world now knows the truth about PFAS, the 'Forever Chemicals' lurking in our water, our blood, and our environment. Today, Sammy Bauer, MPA and I thrilled (and humbled) to stand alongside Rob, a true hero in this fight, to continue raising awareness. Our keynote event tomorrow in Louisville is officially SOLD OUT! 🙌 Thank you to everyone who grabbed a seat—we can’t wait to share exclusive clips from my upcoming documentary series, GenX: The Saga of Forever Chemicals, and talk about how we can still win this battle. I’ve dedicated the last seven years to telling this story because even big problems can be solved —the secret is passionate people, community, and resilience. If you missed your chance to attend, don’t worry—there will be more opportunities to join the movement. Stay tuned for updates and sneak peeks. 🌎💧 Big thanks to University of Louisville, United Nations & Teena Halbig for organizing! #PFAS #ForeverChemicals #EnvironmentalJustice #GenXDoc #SoldOut #CleanWater #DocumentaryFilm

We had a great time speaking at the 2024 Hot Springs Documentary Festival! It was great sharing previews of the GenX doc series and meet so many others in the doc space.❤️

We were honored to accept this award from Silent Spring Institute on behalf of our producer Mark and the whole village of folks fighting against PFAS. Richard and I had a wonderful time and were excited by the great conversations from this Gala in Boston! #pfas #genx #darkwaters

Seven years of work leading to this for the GenX project. We (Sam and Eli) have spent what feels like a lifetime but finally seeing the finish line for this story. Feeling so grateful for the kind people we've met along this journey and those who have joined the story. PFAS is a scary story but we're honored to share the version that has a truly happy ending. #genx #pfas #documentary

Interdisciplinary thinking builds connections and breaks boundaries to help us better understand and weave together the complex whole of topics in science, engineering, and medicine. 2023 award winners Saad B., Steven Strogatz, Janina M Jeff Ringo, PhD, MS, and Elijah J Yetter-Bowman discuss how interdisciplinary thinking leads to excellent science communication and new scientific discoveries. The National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Science Communications, given by the The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in partnership with Schmidt Sciences, honor exceptional science communicators, journalists, and research scientists who have developed creative, original work to communicate issues and advances in science, engineering, or medicine for the general public.

We are so honored by this excellent review from the Video Librarian! It's really exciting how many libraries and professors are now using this film for teaching. Brenda's story is such an inspiration for the power we can each have when we lean into our passions and community. We hope more folks will use her story to inspire the next generation! #BeLikeBrenda #documentary #environmentaljustice #activism #brendahampton https://lnkd.in/eKZx8Kke

Years of work from Diane Cotter and her activism army have just paid off big. The state of Massachusetts has officially outlawed PFAS in firefighter gear by 2027 and Connecticut by 2028. This paves the way for all states to do the same and help firefighters everywhere. Learn about her story in Burned: Protecting the Protectors. https://lnkd.in/e3wztjGS #PFAS #Firefighter #ForeverChemicals
