Today's Science Writing Internship piece is by Ovii, writing about all the good bacteria we need to make food like cheese and yogurt: and how scientists are trying to better understand their genes! 🧀🦠👖 sciencewritinginternship.com/post/making-go… Funded by NSERC / CRSNG

Today's blog is by Leena Thorat, PhD 👩‍🎓👩‍🔬, writing about insects that dry out like raisins, but stay alive! 🐛☀️👌 From our NSERC / CRSNG funded science writing internship program. sciencewritinginternship.com/post/amazing-w…

This is it! Our last day with a new blog article! Leena Thorat, PhD 👩‍🎓👩‍🔬 writes about Peace silk, a nonviolent alternative to the usual silk making process. Thank you NSERC / CRSNG for the support our science writing internship! 🐛🧣♥️ sciencewritinginternship.com/post/cruelty-f…

Dr Leena Thorat, a Department of Biotechnology BioCARe Awardee, has shed light on the unique features of chironomid silk, such as superior fibre fineness among all known insect silks. #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM Dr Jitendra Singh Rajesh Gokhale

Do you know how bad you have to be at science to think that a mask does not block a virus but does block oxygen and carbon dioxide?

So how *does* the pandemic end? Not by us eradicating SARS-CoV-2. That is very unlikely. It evolves too rapidly. Too many non-human reservoirs. The best we can hope for now is endemism. How do we get there, and break free of the cycle of wave after wave around the world? 🧵

Today a PhD student left his PhD just because he was not getting fellowship on time, there are students who have the responsibilities to take care of their parent, its really difficult. I’ve been through this phase and I can understand. I hope things may improve.

We are recruiting #PhD and #Postdoc interested in studying neuromodulation of feeding and metabolism in Drosophila using novel sensors to visualize neuromodulation. DM or email me if you would like more details and would like to join us Würzburg FlyNeurogenetics. Please retweet!

My lab is hiring! We have undergrad/grad positions open to study microbial metal cycling in #ewaste 🦠. We also have a grad position open to study the fate of microbial consortia used in #bioremediation♻️. Please share and click here to learn more 👉 carleton.ca/envbiotech/joi…

FlyBase has added a new resource, the New To Flies? page wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase:N…?, targeted especially to users who are new to Drosophila research. You can reach this resource from icon in the top banner on the FlyBase front page, or from the Help menu on any FlyBase page.

One of the greatest problems in Canada's innovation pipeline is retention of talent. 38% of all new PhDs leave Canada!!! This costs our economy ~$640M every year in lost training dollar investment. Canada is great at training talent to go overseas. #InvestInPostdocs

So fun -and important - to pay it forward & engage w/ next-gen #scipol leadership right across 🇨🇦. Bonus when you get to tag team w/ Rhonda Moore & Leena Thorat, PhD 👩‍🎓👩‍🔬! 🙏 Ottawa Science Policy Network for the invite & keep up the 👍 work!

What are “biodegradable” and “compostable” #plastics? 🤔 Hear from our scientist Leena Thorat and find out why these plastics might not be the solution to ending #PlasticPollution: ow.ly/EisA50W1Cor #fact #BeatPlasticPollution

Did you know? Not all “biodegradable” or “compostable” plastics are eco-friendly. Dr. Leena Thorat Leena Thorat, PhD 👩‍🎓👩‍🔬, a scientist of Indian origin at Environment Canada, breaks it down. 🔗 ow.ly/EisA50W1Cor

Grateful to Environment Canada for the opportunity to speak on a topic close to my heart🌍 Special appreciation to Isabel Julian and her team for the seamless coordination and support behind the scenes! 📷 #Plastics #Bioplastics #Sustainability #EcoInnovation

Canada in India Environment Canada Thank you Canada in India for recognizing my work & amplifying this message 🙏 As a kid, Aaji & mom’s cloth-bag habit felt so uncool—plastic bags were the flex 😅 Today, I dedicate my work to them. Their quiet climate wisdom inspires me every day 🌏♻️🛍️ #Sustainability #Plastics
