Silence of the Labs – Free Public Film Screening

Join us for a free public film screening of the CBC documentary “Silence of the Labs” presented by faculty and students from Arts, Sciences, Education, and the Archer Library at the University of Regina. Silence of the Labs investigates the changing landscape of public funding for scientific research and its relationship to public policy in Canada in response to growing alarm raised by scientists across the country that federal cutbacks to research programs monitoring areas that range from climate change and ocean habitats to public health will deprive Canadians of crucial information. The screening of this documentary will be followed by an open discussion led by Dr. Britt Hall from the Department of Biology. This event is sponsored by Evidence for Democracy (E4D), a non-partisan organization advocating for the transparent use of evidence in government decision-making. For more information on E4D, see the organization’s website: https://evidencefordemocracy.ca/. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome!
