The Silencing of Science: Screening and Talk - Silence of the Labs; Science UNCENSORED

At 1 pm we will screen "Silence of the Labs", the episode of "Fifth Estate" which recently aired. In the pst 5 years, the federal government has dismissed more than 2,000 scientists, and hundreds of programs and world-renowned research facilities have lost their funding. Programs that monitored things such as smoke stack emissions, food inspections, oil spills, water quality and climate change have been drastically cut or shut down.

Following the screening, as part of Freedom to Read Week at the library, Katie Gibbs, a representative from the group, Evidence for Democracy, will be joining us to talk about how scientific information in Canada is being censored by the federal government. Science UNCENSORED!
