    A wake-up call for sleep policies with Dr. Julie Carrier

    One out of every three people in Canada is not getting sufficient sleep. Many willingly trade their zzz's with all-nighters, Netflix binges, endless scrolling through social media, and to conform with the prevailing sleeplessness trend in modern culture. But sleep is not a luxury, for those dealing with sleep disorders, socioeconomic sleep disparity, or individuals with irregular working hours, such as pilots and healthcare workers. Compromising sleep to be productive is counterproductive. It compromises many cognitive functions and risks road and industrial accidents, medical errors and multiple disorders resulting in significant financial burdens on governments annually. Sleep research can play a crucial role in informing various policies, addressing issues like inadequate training for healthcare professionals to identify sleep disorders early, regulating shiftwork hours, and daylight savings, and tackling sleep health disparities. Despite having ample evidence, the translation of sleep research to society is on snooze. Listen from Dr. Julie Carrier, professor in the Department of Psychology at Université de Montréal, provides insights into the needs, barriers, and solutions for bridging the gap between sleep and circadian rhythm research with society. She explains the federal efforts of the Canadian Sleep and Circadian Network and provincial efforts in Quebec of Réseau Sommeil in developing strategies for integrating sleep and circadian rhythms into public health and policies. Highlights of the meeting organized by the Canadian Sleep and Circadian Network, can be found here: National strategy on the integration of sleep and circadian rhythms into public health research and policies: Report from the Canadian Sleep and Circadian Network. Find out more information about the Réseau Sommeil at reseausommeil.ca Upcoming SPE event: What: With the support of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, join Science & Policy Exchange at a public forum event on policies and emerging technologies shaping the future of Canada's carbon emissions. When and where: February 7th 2024 at 5:30 PM ET over Zoom.

The discussion centered on the challenges BIPOC may face and how EDI is being promoted in the field.

    What is open science and how is the Canadian research landscape incorporating it?

    In this episode of archived interviews, we talk to Dylan Roskams-Edris (@DylanWRE), Open Science Alliance Officer for the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute in Montreal, about what open science is and the importance of having it in the research ecosystem. We then chat with Emma Anderson, one of two public forum coordinators for Science and Poicy Exchange about the Nutrition in the Age of Misinformation forum held last June. Finally, we speak with Edward Irving, Director of Energy, Environment and Natural Resources at the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (@CNRSG_NSERC) about the Alliance Missions grants for anthropogenic greenhouse gas research that encourages advancing research in climate change and emissions reductions. And here's your update on upcoming events. The SPE team is currently organizing a café on food security for late March. The date will be announced soon on our social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram). If you're interested in becoming more involved and potentially helping to write the policy brief, make sure to contact SPE to become a volunteer.
