Resistance Radio interview of Dr. Lisa Quattrocki Knight and Constance Gee

Dr. Lisa Quattrocki Knight. After graduating from Stanford University, she earned an MD/PhD from Yale. Her PhD was in basic neuroscience. She then completed a medical internship at Massachusetts General Hospital and her adult psychiatry residency at McLean Hospital. She has been affiliated with Harvard Medical School since 1994 and spent one year as a visiting scholar at the University College of London. She has three daughters and cares deeply about the world in which they will raise their own children. She recognizes that our sense of well-being benefits from feeling connected to the natural world, especially the ocean. We cannot afford to spoil the few remaining natural habitats left on this planet. As a result, she has co-founded a grassroots organization to protect the ocean and the biodiverse life it sustains from industrialization.

Constance Gee resides in Westport, MA where she has worked on behalf of animals and barrier beach protection for years. She first found out about the planned development of the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf by offshore wind in Feb 2021, and has been working in active opposition ever since. She joined Green Oceans when it was founded in the fall of that same year. She is also a member of Save Right Whales Coalition, an umbrella group under which a dozen offshore wind opposition groups from NC to Maine have come together to support one another and share information. She and two other colleagues have recently founded a new group, Protect Our Westport Waters (POWW). POWW aims to stop Vineyard Wind from bringing the high-voltage cabling from one of its projects onshore at a local beach and through the entire length of Westport.
