Born 1932. Morris H. Baslow is a biologist.
Morris H. Baslow (born 1933) is a co-recipient of the 1982 AAAS Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility for his role as Whistleblower in a dispute between the EPA, Consolidated Edison and Con-Ed's consulting firm.
In 1974 Baslow was a senior scientist at the engineering and consulting firm of Lawler, Matuusky & Skelly. Baslow's research indicated that temperature was the main factor that determined fish growth rates and population size, while LMS and their client Con Edison, said that population density was the key factor controlling the fish population in the Hudson. If Baslow was right, the utility company would need to install costly cooling towers. Baslow tried to persuade his superiors for two years to tell the whole truth about his data.
