Congratulations to all scientists on their successful CIHR project grants. At 15/16% success rate many excellent applications remain unfunded. We need #supportthereport so ALL deserving 🇨🇦scientists get funded. We need success rates of 25%.

Virtually every aspect of the COVID vaccine, from the lipid nanoparticles to the mRNA technology, was developed in academic labs using public funds. But in the public's mind the credit goes to companies like Moderna/Pfizer. This is a missed opportunity to celebrate basic research

Check out our work that sheds light on the role of SMC5/6 complex at rDNA locus in regulating lifespan. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ac…

Just finished André Picard ‘s book on elder care Neglected No More. Excellent read from the person who has been out most trustworthy and informative health journalist in a time of great need. Thank André.

Well said. Please follow the lead of other Canadian Universities U Calgary Teri Balser so faculty can safely teach in person without fear of bringing home COVID to their unvaccinated child. Or immunocompromised parent. So many reasons....to put vaccine and mask mandates in place.

Is CIHR resuming in-person grant review panels? This is valuable and important for Canadian science. We have been calling for this over the past few competitions. The scientific community requests that this information be communicated. If there is no return, then inform. #CIHR
