“Lessons Learned from the War on Science”

Speaker: Dr. Thomas J. Duck

Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science, Dalhousie University

Museum of Natural History
1747 Summer St., Halifax.

Abstract:

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.  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.
