The #SupportOurScience movement pushes to boost funding for young scientists. Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars haven’t received a pay raise in almost 20 years. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra… via Quirks & Quarks John Adams #cdnpoli

Delighted to see that NSERC / CRSNG is hosting three talented new Mitacs Science Policy Fellows: Dr. Anh-Khoi Trinh, Dr. @mRoussy23 and Dr. Ben Davis-Purcell. They join an impressive list of SPFs hired by NSERC since 2018, providing us with valuable science policy expertise.

I'm pleased to share my #YouthCouncil’s report with you. These bright young scientists eloquently describe how a more #inclusive, #collaborative, #open, #interdisciplinary and reflective #ScienceCulture in 🇨🇦 will benefit us all. Read the report: 👇👇👇science.gc.ca/site/science/e…

Canadian scientists, researchers and students have made essential contributions to scientific discoveries that improve our health and drive our economy. But Canada is falling behind other countries. We must do better. We #CANFundScience and we must do it now.

The next generation of researchers is actively engaged in #scipol at #CSPC2022! 👏 Pictured below are SPE members Anh-Khoi Trinh and Gavin Douglas questioning MPs François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 and @KirstyDuncanMP, fostering the student voice in decision making!🗣️

Amazing chance to meet with the CSPF Mitacs fellows reunited at #CSPC2022 ! Of course we got a picture with this amazing gang 😎

Strong NSERC / CRSNG presence at the one and only #CSPC2022 (and this is only half of us!) Thanks Mehrdad Hariri for bringing #CdnSci #SciPol together for another memorable conference!

It's been a fantastic week finally back at a conference connecting with new and old friends and colleagues, but this time for #SciencePolicy as part of both the Mitacs #CSPF cohort and the NSERC / CRSNG team at the CSPC Canadian Science Policy Centre (CSPC) conference! #CSPC2022

Nice to catch up with Dr Alejandro Adem at the Canadian Science Policy Centre (CSPC) #CSPC2022. Thanks a lot to the organizer and volunteers for and amazing conference! Also thanks to Mitacs for bringing al CSP Fellows together, it was nice meeting them all in person!

There is still time to alter course and make Canadian research globally competitive in #Budget2023 by doubling funds to the Tri-Councils and paying post-graduate students a living wage. #CANFundScience #SupportOurScience Jean-Yves Duclos François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 Chrystia Freeland

🚨 Very exciting news for the Canadian #scipol community! We are about to launch #SciPolCanada, a new platform for students, postdocs, & early career researchers to get engaged in #scipol 🙌 For more info, join our virtual launch event on Dec 21st @ 1pm sciencepolicy.ca/event/science-…

✨YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS! ✨ All of our youth #SciencePolicy organizations are coming together for a big announcement… the new SciPolCanada Slack Channel! Register here: sciencepolicy.ca/event/science-…

🚨BIG NEWS🚨 If you’ve been following us for a while you might remember us advertising our #NationalGradStudentFinanceSurvey! With over 1300 responses, we are launching our results on FEBRUARY 6th AT 5PM 🤩 Please register for this virtual event here:  eventbrite.ca/e/national-gra…

🚨TOMORROW🚨 We wanted a better idea of how #GradStudents in Canada are faring with their stipends - considering national awards haven’t been raised in 20 YEARS. Over 1300 responses, and we are releasing the results tomorrow at 5pm. Join us: eventbrite.ca/e/national-gra…

For Canada's research community, Budget2023 was a big disappointment. It's particularly hard to fathom why no investment was made to augment support for grad students & postdocs. But maybe history will repeat itself positively if the research community mobilizes again. Read on.

Just one week until the May 1 Nation-wide Walkout—a protest demanding increased 🇨🇦 federal investments for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. They are driving our innovation economy & deserve a livable wage. RSVP and spread the word! #SupportOurScience 1/4

Canada must address this important issue not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also to remain competitive as a global player in science and innovation. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Join me and the outgoing members of my inaugural Youth Council on May 31 @ 2:30 p.m. ET as we discuss their "Our Vision for Science" report. There will be lots of time for your questions! Register 👇👇👇👇 us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

I'm thrilled and honoured to be joining this group of passionate, enthusiastic, and exceptional scientists and researchers in this second iteration of the Dr. Mona Nemer 's Youth Council! Looking forward to help shape Canada's science and research landscape!
