Mass inoculation efforts are now underway in Canada, but the process may look quite different to individual Canadians depending on where they live. How do the vaccine rollout plans differ by region, and where are we seeing the most progress? What approaches seem to be working best, and what can be improved?
Dear RSC Members, Friends and Colleagues,
Today we are delighted to announce that the RSC and Let’s Talk Science have established a multi-year partnership supported by the Government of Canada to engage over 600,000 youth across Canada in climate science education and action.
People around the world have watched science ‘happen in real time’ during the COVID-19 pandemic. In less than one year, the novel coronavirus emerged, was identified and millions vaccinated with a variety of brand new vaccines. How did we learn so much so fast? What questions remain? Why do some people think it’s all a hoax? Are we prepared for the next pandemic?
