Kirsty Duncan: Research is not a club, it is not for a select few, it is for everyone

“Research is not a club, it is not for a select few, it is for everyone. It is a fundamental building block of Canada that everyone has a stake in. Research improves our health, environment, innovation and economy. Time to invest in researchers, postdocs, and grad students.”
