The University of Winnipeg recently received approval from the Government of Manitoba to launch its first doctoral program, the PhD in Bioscience and Policy. Through this program, students will learn to apply bioscience research to address societal challenges such as climate change, environmental sustainability, and human health. They will also complete courses in science and policy and science communication. “More than ever, we need scientists with an understanding of policy issues who can communicate effectively to the general public,” said UWinnipeg Acting Dean of Graduate Studies Dr Manish Pandey. “[W]e are very pleased to launch this cutting-edge doctoral program that will train students to conduct independent research and make science more accessible to policy makers and the public at large.”
