I would agree entirely with what Dr. Moran just said. I'll add a bit, in that I think it's a wonderful idea.
I would highlight that one of the most useful things that can be done to support science is to help people understand and interpret it. Science itself is a method. You ask a question, you do a study and you get some results. However, what do you do with those results, and how do you interpret and apply them to issues that are important, and to important decisions that you have to make?
I admire the community of Victoriaville for having the foresight to appoint a science officer. I think that's wonderful. I'd like to see more more of that, but not just at the municipal level.
Helping all entities better understand the science and interpret it so that they can use that information in the most informed and thoughtful way would be excellent.
