This month, we continue our Covid19 special blog posts and we are featuring the ISSP collaboration with other uOttawa institutes on two future research projects.
Congratulations to Professor Kelly Bronson, Core Member and co-lead of the Inclusive Innovation Research Cluster of the ISSP, on being appointed to the Expert Panel on the Council of Canadian Academies Plant Health Risks Assessment.

Jeff Kinder discusses what a reinvigorated social contract between science and society could look like, and how finding new ways to involve the public scientific priorities could help to restore public confidence.
