The Canadian scientific community owes a great deal to Dr Kristy Duncan & I was thrilled to get a chance to talk to her about her new book, how to advocate government for more science funding, the imp of diversity to propel scientific discovery, leading a trek to Norway & imp of sharing our stories.
