“I was recently inspired to write a blog post about the failures of Canadian research funding re: interdisciplinarity (the Fundamental Science Review, for example, says nothing about interdisciplinary research). In this post, I try to launch a #DisciplinaryBox hashtag in a hope to inspire a groundswell of support for interdisciplinary research reform in Canada.
 .
I’d love your help, sharing the post including—especially—your own stories of how you’ve been hemmed into a disciplinary box.
 .
 .
If you do, please add #Canada to your post so we can count when communicating with Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan, who expressed support in principle when we met last year.”
