Congrats to @AsilElgalad who not only successfully completed her thesis, but submitted it two days early. It was an absolutely pleasure co-supervising you with @Betts_Lab. You have set a very high bar for future students with the work you did on flexibility in higher education.

Underinvestment in health research is killing us. Read our open letter that was published in today’s edition of the @globeandmail to find out why and what can be done: ow.ly/Wyp150N7suu #ResearchIsTheSolution #CDNhealth #cdnpoli

Daughter and husband selected for random Covid screen after flying home from NYC. In a province with no testing, no reporting, no masking, I fail to understand how this practice protects anyone. Utter waste of time, resources, and tears from the 12 yo! 😩

Are you listening @JustinTrudeau ?
President Biden: "Back in the sixties we used to invest a little over 2% of our GDP in pure research and investment in science. Today it's 0.7%. I'm going to change that." If the Biden administration brings us back to 2%, that would mean $418.6 billion for research today.

1)Today is grant result day in Canada & my feed is full of tweets from brilliant, successful, accomplished colleagues who were not funded. We need to talk about how when PIs operate in a funding environment where so few get funded this has a huge -ve impact on their mental health

The @StemCellNetwork has provided critical training that helped me to succeed. I can't imagine my PhD. studies without amazing opportunities such as single cell RNA-seq workshops, the TMM conference and now during the quarantine, entertaining & informative webinars. Thank you!
SCN training provides excellent benefits to HQP looking to boost their skills and professional network, helping them find employment in highly-skilled positions. Learn more: stemcellnetwork.ca/about-us/… #cdnsci #training #science
