I am bereft at the loss of Kirsty Duncan. She will always be, for me, the Minister who ensured Canadian universities ended their gender-discrimination perpetuating status quo (disguised as 'merit') in Canada Research Chair, and other research funding opportunities. She un-muzzled government scientists, reinstated the long-form census and bolstered other measures to re-enable scientific inquiry and decision-making in Canada. She wasn't Minister of Science and Sport long (2015 to 2019), and she fought a lot of anti-feminist headwinds during her tenure in Cabinet, but she made an important, and durable, difference. Valé Kirsty Duncan!
