Simon Davis-Cohen I am a Co-Founder of Read the Dirt, a former farm hand at Growing Washington, a Democracy School graduate, a former Nation intern, and a graduate of Fairhaven College and Western Washington University, where I studied “Scientific Literacy and Communication”. Compiling and publishing information has entertained me since high school. I find meaning in extracting information from people’s minds and making it available for others. Though fun, I take this work seriously, as the challenges our communities face are anything but fun. I hope you enjoy our efforts to bring light to cutting edge tactics to the challenges we face. I believe we can all contribute to our understanding of common predicaments, as well as our capacity to overcome them. Contact us if you’re interested in sharing your unique knowledge.
