Que disent vraiment les #neurones producteurs de #sérotonine dans notre #cerveau ? Et pourquoi ce #neurotransmetteur clé est-il activé à la fois en réponse aux récompenses et aux punitions ? 🧠⚡ Place aux experts de la sérotonine d'@uOttawaMed. 💡Une nouvelle étude de @Nature menée par une équipe de chercheurs interdisciplinaires de notre Faculté déchiffre les messages transmis par la sérotonine. Les résultats fascinants jettent un nouvel éclairage sur le mystérieux #SystèmeSérotoninergique de notre système nerveux et sur la façon dont il est impliqué dans toutes nos décisions quotidiennes.

It was a pleasure meeting @Bill_Morneau and @ScienceMin yesterday @uOttawa Advanced Research Complex to explore fundamental #science and chat with some amazing researchers. xitter.cf/Bill_Morneau/status/93…
Our government reinstated the Chief Science Advisor because we understand the value of evidence-based decision making. Yesterday, I was delighted to meet with @ChiefSciCan and @KirstyDuncanMP to discuss how science can empower #YourBudget2018.

Could we learn more about how the government is planning to “chart a course the way forward”? The scientific community is eagerly waiting to see the concrete steps the government is going to make to #Supportthereport. @JustinTrudeau @Bill_Morneau @ScienceMin @CDNMinHealth xitter.cf/ScienceMin/status/9316…
We commissioned the Science Review, studied the report & charted a course for the way forward ow.ly/EWPm30gEavo #ResultsGC

We just finished 2 days of @CIHR_IRSC reviews in Ottawa. Few observations: 1. @CIHR_IRSC staff is amazing. They do absolutely everything they possibly can to make the review process thorough, fair and transparent. They help us, they listen to us. Thank you! 1/n
