Chief Scientist's Youth Council: COVID-19 Research Initiatives

Farah Qaiser, Chief Science Advisor’s Youth Council
Justine Ammendolia, Chief Science Advisor’s Youth Council

Join us for an engaging discussion with two members of the Chief Scientist’s Youth Council: Farah Qaiser and Justine Ammendola. Farah Qaiser is a genomics researcher and science communicator. In this talk, Farah will share the impacts of COVID-19 on Canada’s next generation of scientists and professionals. Farah will draw on both the Chief Science Advisor’s Youth Council roundtable consultations as well as the Toronto Science Policy Network’s COVID-19 Graduate Student Survey. Justine Ammendolia is an environmental scientist, science communicator. Justine’s research has covered various aspects of plastic pollution in aquatic environments but took a turn to assess PPE pollution at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Justine will discuss the implications of widespread use and mismanagement of PPE, and share her findings from a collaborative study she conducted in Toronto to map mismanaged PPE and identify potential sources.
