The final workshop, Science for Policy, covered how science can impact government decision-making and inform policy. We discussed the various pathways between science and policy, and we examined the steps involved in communicating science to policymakers. Workshop attendees learned from two expert speakers (one academic and one scientist working in government): Dr. Meghan Azad, Research Scientist and Associate Professor of Paediatrics and Child Health, and Dr. Elisabeth Galarneau, Research Scientist at Environment and Climate Change Canada. These experts shared their experiences and their unique lens on the process of bridging science with policy. Finally, using case studies, attendees had a chance to engage in the process of translating science to policy.
