This summer, the CAP asked for your help to encourage Parliament to implement recommendations from a powerful report (The Naylor Report) that includes many ideas and actions that evolved from broad nationwide consultations about fundamental science.
On Sept. 26, one major recommendation was implemented: Dr. Mona Nemer, a Professor in the Dept. of Biochemstry, Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Ottawa, was named as Canada’s Chief Science Advisor. The CAP looks forward to working with Dr. Nemer in this new role. For more information about Dr. Mona Nemer and the responsibilities of the Chief Science Advisor, see the Government’s press release. and information compiled by the Canadian Science Policy Centre.
