Mapping government research centres

Today, we talk about an interesting release from science.gc.ca.

Have you ever wondered whether that funny-looking building on your way into work is actually a government research laboratory? Well, now you can confirm it – the Canadian government has released a map showing the locations of all 230+ research facilities it administers. You can also get the contact details for each centre, and search for specific departments.

I cover science and innovation for Ontario (excluding Ottawa), liaising with all relevant research institutions and companies. In 2015 I expect to be working on future cities, high-performance computing and innovation in healthcare, as well as continuing prior work on dementia, regenerative medicine and science outreach. In the free time that I have after managing multiple small children, I enjoy home improvement and board/computer gaming. You can follow me on Twitter at @jcpreece
