The 🇨🇦 federal government must act now and reinvest in both research and people in Budget 2024 by immediately doubling research funding to the Tri-Agency. #ResearchInTrouble #DoubleTheFund

Research holds real promise for people, society and our planet, impacts each of our lives, matters for its own sake, and is a basic building block of Canada. It’s time to invest in the granting councils and graduate scholarships, especially as peer countries ramp up investment.

Come be the next inorganic chemist at Univ. of Delaware. Attacks on tenure got you down? Concerned about academic freedom in your state? Bring your program to the 'First State'. This is an 'open rank' search. We want to hear from you! #chemjobs @chemjobber careers.udel.edu/cw/en-us/job/5…

We must do much better. This cannot continue. Double double would be a good start. Double number and amount of research scholarships and double funding to the TriCouncils Support Our Science Canadian Science Policy Centre (CSPC) Ottawa Science Policy Network Canadian Science

Dr Leah Cowen, VP Research & Innovation at University of Toronto, speaks to how leading countries are embracing science and the need to support researchers in Canada with competitive funding. Canada must match the ambition of our peers. #Coalition4CdnResearch #cdnpoli

Thanks @cathleencrudden for the great visit and really engaging talk at mcgill!

An outstanding article by @CDavidNaylor and Stephen Toope in the Globe and Mail on research/innovation challenges in Canada, as well as a productive path forward.

One, of many, quotes that stood out: 'One wonders how many of the costly decisions taken by our federal and provincial governments in support of supposedly economically relevant R&D would themselves survive a rigorous peer-review process.' 2/2

We’re excited to have ⁦Shane W. Krska⁩ from ⁦Merck⁩ visit McGill Chemistry today for an outstanding talk on the power of high throughput and catalysis in drug discovery! ⁦McGill Chemistry⁩ #Merckchemistry

Congratulations on the great work out in Chem. Sci. Marc-Andre!

Dusting off Twitter to hype this week's #CORGI, featuring Process Chemist extraordinaire Rebecca Green Rebecca Green and superstar PhD student Cuihan Zhou Cuihan from Bruce Arndtsen's group @ McGill. Hope to see y'all this Thurs at 2pm EST! cheminst.ca/cic-virtual/se… Chemical Institute of Canada

Congratulations @drgauthi, collaborators Merck and our team for work out in Nature Chemistry showing functional group metathesis between in situ chlorinated carboxylic acids can offer a straightforward approach to carbon isotope labelling McGill Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4155…

A huge congratulations to drgauthi (tag now corrected), the Merck lead on the project. #MerckChemistry

Thx to Rishi Bansal for flagging this slide deck on the economic impacts of NIH funding. tinyurl.com/2s4xdmh5 . US $ growth reflects bipartisan support for sustaining health research. CIHR has fallen far behind while ISED steers massive tranches of health research $. 🆘

“People are suggesting scientists are elitist. This is exactly the opposite of what science is. Scientists are doing everything for the community. They are not sitting at the top of the mountain they are sitting at the bottom trying to make sure everyone can get to the top of the

It’s great to see the budget addressing scholarships and fellowships to drive Canada’s academic and scientific excellence: something our SRSR Committee recommended, $825m over 5 yrs, as well as $1.8billion in core research funding. Pg 171-175

This is a good start.

CSC event: if you’d like to hear from our NSERC Discovery representatives, see how chemistry performs, or give feedback to funding programs, come to their in-person meeting today, June 5 @ 12:30pm at the CSC (Rm 3). Open to everyone! #CSC2024 Chemical Institute of Canada NSERC / CRSNG

Congratulations Yi!

Congratulations to Pierre-Louis, Ming and Meijing on their work out showing how to electrify redox neutral palladium catalysis using sequential, two-electron oxidation and reduction of the metal through the cycle to make all the steps favored. J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
