During the Line 3 permitting process, scientific studies have been used to affirm the 'safety' of the oil pipeline; however, many scientists have raised concern with the type of science used to justify Enbridge's claims. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Christine Dolph, a research scientist who focuses on stream and wetland ecology, about her experience leveraging her privilege and scientific knowledge to support indigenous communities and grassroots activists. Dr. Dolph's experience highlights how science is political and can be skewed to advance the desires of extractive corporations, but also how science can be used to ensure the safety of people and the environment.
