<p>The House will vote on HR 1430 Wednesday, March 29. It is called the Honest Act but in truth, it is not. It requires the EPA to only utilize scientific studies whose data, code and other materials are all publicly available online and requires that all
results be independently reproducible. Sounds good on the surface but it is not. They deviate from the established norms of the scientific community and are designed to cripple scientific research at the EPA. You cannot reproduce one-off studies such as
those conducted on disasters ie Hurricane Katrina or the Deep Water Horizon event. Longitudinal studies that span decades are not easily reproducible but their data is crucial to public health. Redacting personally identifiable information from public health
studies can require thousands of hours of labor. Other findings may depend on tightly guarded industry or trade secrets. This bill is just another example of Congress putting well funded private interests ahead of the health of citizens and our country. Please
consider calling your representative in the House today. </p>
