I'm on a panel next week to discuss Canada x quantum x international opportunities.

The benefits of int'l collaboration are obvious, but there are a lot of pieces that need to fit together in order to make it happen.

I will be pondering 🇨🇦's National Quantum Strategy and what it might mean for international collaboration on July 11th with a few other quantum cats from across Canada.

What even is the bioeconomy?

There is an anticipation that biological resources and advancements in biotechnology will help drive manufacturing in the near future. To various extents, these ideas formulate concepts of the bioeconomy. However, nobody seems to agree on what that actually looks like. We can’t track progress if we don’t know what we are tracking. #biotech #scipol

The #ClimateCrisis has been covered by The BMJ since the 1990s due to its inextricable link to health, says Juliet Dobson. Co-founded the UK Health Alliance.

Policy initiatives help influence society, through editorials, article collections, and themed issues for events, e.g., COP26.

Climate coverage attracts criticism from deniers on social media.

Vacancy (maybe the best one of the year): ISC liaison to the UN system (Consultant position). The ISC is looking for a consultant to represent the Council with multilateral institutions and diplomatic missions in New York (USA). #SciPol https://council.science/current/blog/vacancy-isc-liaison-un-system/

Pro tip:
If you have any personal pet peeve phrases that you don't want to talk about on a panel, don't tell folks about it in advance...
