Foresight knowledge is the only way to iron out the wrinkles and set yourselves up for success. Going forward, we at INGSA are happy to stay involved to help explain and bridge the science and policy worlds
We have seen with GMOs & Stem Cells how difficult it can be to get everybody on-board when new technology trains are fast leaving the station. Science can get ahead of itself and the dialogue between experts, policy-makers and end-user citizens has never been straight-forward.
Giving and taking scientific advice are two different things. That is precisely why the Exposome Moonshot Forum Community are hitting the nail on the head by bringing all stakeholders to the table early-on.
Delighted to be organising the ‘policy panel’ from 9h15 - 10h00 DC time on Tuesday 13th. Register for the live-link & get involved. This Moonshot Launch is a rare chance to be there when something truly transformative is happening. If you’d like to pose a question here, go ahead!
La recherche scientifique vit actuellement des heures sombres aux États-Unis dont les conséquences dépassent les frontières. J'en ai discuté avec Sophie-Andrée Blondin, animatrice aux @Anneeslumiere sur les ondes de @icipremierere.
