Title: Lessons Learned from the War on Science

Science in the public interest in Canada has been under attack in recent years. Programs crucial to the health and safety of Canadians have been eliminated, scientists have been muzzled, science library collections have been destroyed, and decades of progress in environmental law and regulation have been upended. In this talk Dr. Duck will review the evidence for this “War on Science”, describe the early warning signs, explore its consequences, and discuss what we have learned with a view to the future.
