I am very pleased to share that Dr. Suzanne Kearns, PhD, former airplane and helicopter pilot, and founder of the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics (WISA), has been featured in Canada Foundation for Innovation/Fondation canadienne pour l'innovation's podcast, "10,000 ways".   Dr. Kearns research explores how to optimize the next generation of aviation professionals (NGAP) by analyzing processes to attract people to the field of aviation.
