Impact Hub Ottawa
In this BBL, we welcome Evidence for Democracy, a non-profit that promotes the use of evidence in government decision-making. We’ll share a bit about what we do, and discuss why science policy and science advocacy matter in light of COVID-19. We will also share some tips on how folks can get involved in advocacy.
Kimberly Girling is the Interim Executive Director at Evidence for Democracy, a non-profit organization promoting the use of evidence in government decisions. She has a PhD in Neuroscience, and has worked on drug policy, harm reduction, human enhancement, science communication and more.
