We are proud to support the Tri-Academy Partnership on Indigenous Engagement: A Research Summit on Cultural Heritage in an Era of Reconciliation. This event, taking place in Vancouver on November 4-6, is a result of a collaboration with the RSC // SRC and Royal Society Te Apārangi. Learn
The Research Summit on #Indigenous Engagement is officially underway! The opening reception featured a performance by Coastal Wolf Pack, with welcoming remarks from Frank Deer (RSC) and colleagues from Royal Society Te Apārangi and Australian Academy of Science. #TAP2024
At #TAP2024, Frank Deer (Chair of the Organizing Committee, President of the RSC College) is hosting a discussion with editors of Royally Wronged to reflect on the book's findings and explore how the TRC’s Calls to Action can guide meaningful change within the academy.
Day two of #TAP2024 wrapped up with an evening tour through Stanley Park! Participants experienced the Talking Trees and Talking Totems tours, led by Cultural Land Ambassadors from Talaysay Tours. 🌲✨
Dr. Carwyn Jones, FRSNZ, Te Wānanga o Raukawa, delivered the closing keynote at #TAP2024. The RSC has passed the baton to Royal Society Te Apārangi, who will host the next summit in Aotearoa (New Zealand) as part of the Tri-Academy Partnership on #Indigenous Engagement. Until next time! ✨
"The need to discover who died, the reasons why they died, and the location of their remains is one so connected to the emotional well-being of living descendants and fellow community members that it is a spiritual journey." - Frank Deer theconversation.com/canada-and-chu…
In my final duty as College President of RSC // SRC, I presided over the induction ceremony for the Class of 2024. My colleague and friend Isabelle Archambault provided a heartwarming address about me at the end. Truly appreciated being a part of such a great team!

I was invited to write an essay for the Canadian Science Policy Magazine. I'm not really a scholar of the sciences, but I was happy to offer my two cents on Indigenous knowledge and its relation to the sciences. UManitoba Science 🎓Faculty of Education UM Today News sciencepolicy.ca/posts/science-…
