Thinking of graduate students and postdocs who are working hard this time of year, and indeed all year round. I want you to know that I see you, hear you, and I see your creativity, intelligence, and incredible potential. It’s time to invest in research and future researchers.

I am hiring a postdoctoral fellow in aeromicrobiology! Definitely apply if you have experience with methanotrophs or metagenomic analysis. Details here jfowlerlab.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/2/… Please RT!

While research is fundamental to improving human health, our environment, economy, and future, investment in research continues to be treated as a “nice to have” by successive governments. Research requires sustained investment, especially as other countries ramp up funding.

We are a country of discoverers, explorers and innovators. We have a long history of research achievement, including double lung transplants, insulin, pacemakers, and stem cells. Time to invest in researchers, postdocs and grad students to build a better future for Canadians.

Read this if you care about #science & its economic benefits. Marc Johnson says we are "being left in the dust of countries more creative, industrious & ambitious. Canada’s anemic approach to R&D is leaving large economic gains on the table." theglobeandmail.com/business/comme… #braindrain

On #WomenInScience Day, we celebrate trailblazers! Women who choose #STEM, share their perspectives and stories, uncover history, fight for equality and their rightful place in #science, and inspire ideas and research to achieve what we cannot yet imagine. Women who dare.

Almost a decade after proposing this experiment in a grant application, we have a preprint! A huge experiment by Philippe Piccardi with many helping hands to generate and analyze the data especially genomic & transcriptomic analysis by Eric Ulrich! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Research is essential to the health, prosperity and security of Canada. Canadian researchers have a long history of achievement. Investment in researchers, postdocs and grad students means new discoveries-treatments, climate solutions, technologies, and a better future for all.
