The ultra-conservative right has organized nationwide events under the pretext of protecting children, while their true aim is to protest the teaching of 2SLGBTQIA+ content in schools. Our mission is clear: to counter these protests and demonstrate unequivocally that there is no

With “Twitter” still on the decline and now the prospect of having to pay to use it on the horizon, I’d like to take a minute to hear from science twitter. Where have you/ will you jump to to continue to get science updates from friends in the field?

Ford’s a persistent combatant who courts division. He blames the Opposition & mainstream media when caught exaggerating or telling untruths. Today’s Greenbelt reversal would’ve never happened without intense pressure from everyone who fought back. Don’t ease up, there’ll be more.

Now make right on another broken promise, Doug Ford. Bring back real rent control. #ONPoli

The House of Commons standing committee on health #HESA has a meeting to discuss Women’s Health in Nov. However there is only ONE women on this committee of 12! In Committee how does this still happen in 2023? ourcommons.ca/Committees/en/…

Instead of INVESTING in REPAIRS to keep Save OSC 🇨🇦 IN community, Ford CREATED THIS CRISIS of severe disrepair of bldg. Instead of investing in a milliom-dollar quack biz case to create their own desired outcomes they could have prevented this! JOIN US ON SUNDAY!👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿 #tostpauls

I could not be more thrilled for these two wonderful humans and AMAZING scientists and mentors to finally win this prize. So well deserved! They are what curiosity driven science is all about! 🎉

From the The Nobel Prize press release on the Ambros/Ruvkun microRNA discovery: "Although the results were interesting, the unusual mechanism of gene regulation was considered a peculiarity of C. elegans, likely irrelevant to humans and other more complex animals." 🙄

Two all time favorites. You must read them together and appreciate the insight and vision!!!

Such well deserved recognition! Gary’s excitement for science is contagious! Gary and Victor inspire so many of us who believe in curiosity driven research, (and who love the worm :)

100% agree! It is a privilege to be a scientist, and to be a part of this wonderful worm small RNA research community, founded on Victor, Gary, and Candy's discoveries, and built by their leadership, mentorship, and curiosity. What a special moment!
