I'm part of a closing panel discussion at Canadian quantum conference today.

Crowd sourcing hot takes for improving the quantum in Canada, across academia, industry, and gov't. 🔥

GO!

As a federal research funder who tries to have a meaningful conversation annually about EDI practices with each of our grant $$ holders ... Yep. A good number are mailing it in. Copy-paste the university's EDI statement.

If anyone has any good ideas, send it my way.

In my quantum mechanical description of science policy:
\[ |\mathrm{science} \rightarrow \mathrm{policy}\rangle + |\mathrm{policy} \rightarrow \mathrm{science}\rangle\],

#Introduction

I'm a #Quantum physicist ➡️ #CdnSci / #SciPol advisor ➡️ funder of quantum R&D, working in the 🇨🇦 federal government.

I post about #QuantumTechnologies, opportunities around the 🇨🇦 quantum ecosystem, my garden being massacred by 🐿️ , classic cocktails 🍸 , and occasionally SciFi/fantasy 📖
