This session involve the repudiation of current populist denials of scientific findings on environmental destruction, climate change, pollution, weather and medicine.
Although media coverage of these areas is more prevalent in the US with outspoken mouthpieces like Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., it also exists here in Canada. Lianne will be expounding on her research and experience with organizational and regulatory practices in Canada and worldwide. She's got such an eclectic background, it's likely to be a fascinating talk!
