The Scientific Activist The Scientific Activist was a blog that covers science, politics, and science policy, run by Nick Anthis, a graduate student in biochemistry and Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford. The Scientific Activist gained international recognition in February 2006 when it published information that led to the immediate resignation of Bush Administration NASA appointee George Deutsch. Deutsch—who had been accused of censoring scientific information at NASA—claimed to have graduated from Texas A&M University on his résumé, but Anthis discovered that Deutsch had not, in fact, completed his degree there.
Paul Ingrassia Paul Ingrassia (born c. 1950) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and retired Managing Editor for Reuters, a division of Thomson Reuters, headquartered in New York City. In June 2016 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Loeb Foundation for accomplishments in business and financial journalism. Ingrassia drew media attention in 2013 when David Fogarty, climate change reporter at Reuters for nearly 20 years, resigned and later told the press of Ingrassia's suspected climate change denial. Ingrassia had allegedly told Fogarty in 2012 that he was a 'climate change skeptic' who wanted to see more evidence mankind was changing the global climate. Following what Fogarty claims to be a time of heavy climate change censorship he described as a 'Climate of Fear' in Reuters, Ingrassia supposedly denounced climate change coverage in early 2013 and abolished Fogarty's role, triggering his resignation.
