This is both scientifically unsound and completely unethical. We don't even understand the molecular mechanisms for why APP mutations effect AD risk... Someone PLEASE strip this man of his research funds/access. How tf did he get out of prison anyway!?

Your PhD is about the evolution of your mindset. It proceeds through personal research experience, mentorship and development of key skills. This is why PhD in STEM: - is NOT about a thesis (very few people will read it) - is NOT about finish your advisor’s project - is NOT

Frankly, it’s embarrassing. And how will we create the economy of tomorrow without substantial increases in funding the science of today. And that includes significant increases in numbers and amounts of scholarships and doubling TriCouncil funding Chrystia Freeland François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦

A fascinating albeit terrifying piece. Americans, take note!

I was fully planning on revoking my US citizenship for tax purposes (once I have Canadian citizenship) until I heard of #HR5432 The Americans Abroad Simplified Filing Act of 2023. The US will lose many valuable citizens in the coming decades if this isn't passed!

Very thrilled to have won best poster in BC at BCRegMed Network's 5th Cascadia Conference! What an exciting culmination to a fascinating couple days. So very grateful to the organizers, judges, and all the amazing folks I chatted with. I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

"The fact that neuronal cells act or react in measurable ways, does not mean that they intend to perform a task and understand how to do it." Personification of brain organoids in science communication is a "mereological fallacy" and should not be done. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Grad student and postdoc funding should be included in Budget 2024! Early career researchers are the backbone of Canadian research and innovation #SupportOurScience @supportourscience

This is terrifying. Not the headline... I'm familiar with the science. No, what's terrifying is how far I had to dig through my news notifications to find this story. What's terrifying is that this headline is not #trending on every social media platform. 1/4

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is still too silent about the war in Gaza. Following my viral tweet last month, this is the updated & expanded version of how I see things based on >1000 articles and 1000s of videos/images of the war. 🧵of summary conclusions:

#Budget2024 💰 makes the largest investment in 20+ years for grad students & postdocs! It will support financial needs, boost mental well-being, allow focus on research, & promote diversity by easing barriers for underrepresented groups. 🎉💪🏽#SOSBudget2024

To the men “not all men”-ing in my comments section, a quick reminder…. We know. We know it’s not all men. We also know that it’s ENOUGH men that we have no way to determine WHICH men. And you men allow it to continue. Until it’s no men, I’ll remain #TeamBear.

It is not antisemitic to criticise Israel It is not antisemitic to criticise Israel It is not antisemitic to criticise Israel It is not antisemitic to criticise Israel It is not antisemitic to criticise Israel Israel is carrying out a GENOCIDE, do not be bullied into SILENCE

Turns out I’m “woke.” All along, I thought I was just compassionate, kind, and good at history.
