Rob Rottapel and I, as coPIs we’re one of the few bridge funding HSFC grants awarded. These are dire times for HSFC. Instead of 3 years of funding we got only partially funding - money is money , I guess. Hope the coming years is better. It can’t get any worse.

The importance of investing in basic research. Time for 🇨🇦 to step up
IMF Report on the significant economic return of investment in basic research. "We find that basic scientific research affects more sectors, in more countries and for a longer time than applied research (commercially oriented R&D by firms)" See it here: imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/20…
