What you are actually doing here is to bribe nokia to put these jobs into Canada by paying hundreds of thousands of dollars per job from taxpayer money. What this does is to lower the cost basis of nokia per employee. This has been going on for decades, called FDI which all civil servants think is a good thing. I spent a lot of time explaining to civil servants in ottawa that its not good for our economy that American and Oversees branch offices can employ Canadians at half the cost to all the canadian companies around them due to these subsidies. We should not do them at all, they are toxic, at least in the tech sector. It's never meat to be this way, but the situation that very often arises is: It's strictly worse inside of Canada to be a Canadian company compared to a company headquartered everywhere else. This is a bad situation, because the fruits of the subsidized labor will accrue to the wealth of other countries and not Canada. It's tax payer money invested into locking up scarce high tech talent in jobs where they no longer contribute to the Canadian economy directly. Why
Canada is leading the global tech race. Today's milestone strengthens our digital infrastructure, drives innovation, and delivers results for Canadians across the country. ctvnews.ca/ottawa/article/no…

For any post-doc or grad student: pitch me one study (high level, ~1-2 paragraphs) that you would like to do and that's close to what we actually do. If it's interesting and logically presented you will get a Zoom interview.

Super excited to have CANdiLab be a part of #SSSP2024 in Cyprus; to help contribute to our developing knowledge of psychopathy. If you're at the conference, come say hi: on Thursday at our posters (3), on Saturday (final symposium of the conference!), or any time in between.

The terminology used in discussions on mental state attribution is extensive & lacks consistency. Here, experts from various disciplines collaborate to introduce a shared set of concepts & make recommendations regarding future use.@IanApperly @sbaroncohen nature.com/articles/s44271-0…

This is a great start to compensating reviewers for their work. It will absolutely have me preferring to review for this journal. However, it shouldn't be a lump sum paywall format for 5 or more. Should be $500 off per review, whether it be the reviewers 1st or 20th of the year
STARTING NOW: Recognizing contributions of our reviewers: - ONE FULL PUBLICATION FEE WAIVER to reviewers completing 5 or more reviews in a year - 40% reduction in publication fee voucher to reviewers completing 2-4 reviews in a year Further Details: sciencedirect.com/journal/ne…
