CMDS Fellow Courtney Radsch Joins International Science Council’s Expert Panel

CMDS Fellow Courtney Radsch has joined the International Science Council’s Expert Panel of 12 researchers, commentators and scientists who have made a significant contribution to the discourse on scientific literacy.

The International Science Council (ISC) is a Paris-based global NGO that brings together 40 international scientific Unions and Associations and over 140 national and regional scientific organizations including Academies and Research Councils.

Its project “The public value of science” aims to increase awareness amongst wider publics, policymakers and decision-makers of science as a global public good. The Expert Panel will lead the project, and its members will be engaged as resource people for the programme.

"Science has never been more critical amid the spread of COVID-19 and its infodemic, vaccine hesitancy, climate change, disinformation, etc.", Courtney Radsch said upon joining the panel.
