Science and Innovation in 2011 Federal Election

Submitted by Masoud Yeganegi on Mon, 18/04/2011 - 22:25
Recent world events have highlighted the link between science, technology, and the public. From oil supply risk to nuclear safety to tackling climate change, science must be a part of the public discourse. This month's Canadian federal election campaign is a great time to engage with politicians and the public on science-related policy issues.
