Claire joined host of the Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy’s Science and Policy Podcast, Dr Rob Doubleday, along with fellow guest Jon Agar (Professor of Science and Technology Studies, UCL), to discuss which scientific voices are heard in government, and whether one voice or many shapes information that is informing decision making. They explore what structures and institutions have evolved over recent decades to try and make that process more open, more diverse and more robust. Listen to their discussion here.
In 2021, the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA) is producing an interview series with some of the key global practitioners at the interfaces between science, policy and society.
