Conference Title: Supporting Biology Professionals to Lead in Applied Research and Resource Management in British Columbia
Tangled in conflicting policies and politics, competitive work environments, public opinion, mistrust of science, misconceptions about our profession, ethical commitments, and new professional governance legislation, professional biologists must forge a path to practice in applied biology in a scientific way. How can we support biology professionals to lead in applied research so that we can effectively manage natural resources in British Columbia?
Who should attend:
The APB annual conference attracts Biology Professionals, natural resources managers, researchers, industry representatives, First Nations, not-for-profit organizations, naturalists and biology students across western Canada.
