bridges vol. 21, April 2009 / Letter from the Editor By Caroline Adenberger Dear Reader, Like the April cherry blossoms that announce the arrival of spring each year in Washington, DC, “bridges” also starts every April – for the fifth time in 2009 – with its first issue of the new season, providing you with information on transatlantic science and technology policy. “Canada revisited” would make an appropriate subheading for this issue. It has been exactly five years, since 2004, since we’ve dedicated a special section to the beautiful country north of the Niagara Falls. With a feature on S&T policy under Prime Minister Stephen Harper; an interview with Chad Gaffield, the president of the Canadian Research Council for the Humanities and the Social Sciences; an expert contribution on US-Canadian S&T relations and joint activities written by the Canadian Counselor for Science & Technology Valerie La Traverse; and, last but not least, with two introductions of Austrian scientists who decided to move from Austria to British Columbia to do their research, we want to update you on what is new up north. Access to the full article is free, but requires you to register. Registration is simple and quick – all we need is your name and a valid e-mail address. We appreciate your interest in bridges. |
