Science Culture: Where Canada Stands

Abstract

Science Culture: Where Canada Stands, Ottawa (ON), Expert Panel on the State of Canada’s Science Culture, p. 222, Council of Canadian Academies 2014

This publication is a valuable treatise on the subject of science culture and related aspects of citizen engagement with science.

It contains several insights about the forms and functional dynamics of science culture and its impacts across individuals, democracy/public policy and economy firmly embedded in a well-defined logical framework. Inferences drawn are communicated in a simple straight forward manner. Although Canada and its citizens provide the setting, this creates a learning context for countries engaged in similar investigations to draw useful leads about related approaches, tools/techniques and indicators.
