We are saddened to learn of the passing of the Honourable Kirsty Duncan. Her passion and advocacy for science and research have left an undeniable mark on Canada’s research community. Her sense of curiosity will continue to inspire us.

When @KirstyDuncanPhD won @sciencepolicy #Trailblazer award, she didn’t talk about herself, she spoke about helping others, about : science, equity, advocacy. Canada is stronger today because of Kirsty. Kirsty, your memory, your actions, and your friendship are a true blessing ❤️
