INGSA Horizon Podcast - In-depth conversations with the leading global experts at the science/society/policy interface.

In the final months of his tenure as the UK Government's Chief Scientific Advisor, Sir Patrick Vallance sat down with Dr Mona Nemer, Canada's Chief Science Advisor, to discuss the challenges they've faced, the opportunities they see, and the future for science advice.

Both were in the middle of their tenures when COVID erupted and they found themselves at the very centre of the national and international response. What was it like to be a country's highest ranking science adviser, when unprecedented interest, scrutiny, and animosity was directed at scientists trying to do their jobs?

This is a candid and engaging discussion from two of the world's most experience science advice practitioners.
