“
I think a few of the things that we have learned in Finland is that it’s important to listen to scientists to use all the knowledge that it is there, and to make bold decisions in uncertainty.”
/ Sanna Marin (16 November 1985 – ), Finnish politician who served as prime minister of Finland from 2019 to 2023. /
