Jimmy Gomez: “Well, Dr. Oreskes, can you explain this a little bit?”

I take full responsibility and have committed myself to working through the pain privately with my wife and family.

Young people today face challenges that would have been hard to imagine a generation ago, and we have a responsibility to ensure their needs remain front and center.

I stand ready to cooperate with the Ethics Committee inquiry and provide it with whatever information it might need.

I am deeply sorry to my wife for the pain and embarrassment that I have brought into our lives.
