On the latest episode of Policy Chats, Senior Advisor of the California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) Dr. Jun Bando discusses the importance of incorporating science and technology into public policy.
“As with all major change, taking full advantage of these tools is going to require vision, strong leadership, and institutional cultures that really embrace innovation and collaboration,” said Bando, an expert in strategic policy planning. “Science really needs to work to build a more diverse, inclusive and equitable culture within the field.”
The episode with Bando also covers other relevant topics including the challenges of translating research into policy, racial justice issues, and impact COVID-19 has had. Listen to the episode here.
