Thanks, Mr. Chair. If you don't mind, I'll get us back to the citizen science study that we're doing.
After that last exchange, I actually feel compelled to ask about scientific literacy and how we're using and relying on NGOs and organizations across the country and their armies of volunteers to help us with misinformation and disinformation as it relates to science.
Maybe I can start with Ms. Hartwig.
After that last exchange, I started to think about some of the things I heard at the door when going through the election in terms of people questioning vaccines and the effectiveness of vaccines, and questioning science, really. I think most of us around this table would agree that it was science that got us through the pandemic, and I think science will get us through and help us combat climate change, to your point.
If I could, I'll ask Ms. Hartwig for her comments as they relate to how citizen science will help us combat some of the misinformation and disinformation we hear as that relates to our climate crisis—and it is a crisis. How will science and citizen science help the government make informed decisions on policy matters related to the same?
