Congratulations Dr. Warner! The lab's first PhD defense and I could not be more proud. A first-class researcher, and highly valued lab mate who has passed on her knowledge to our newer people. Thank-you for taking a risk on a new PI and I wish you all the best in your next adventure!

Fellow ladies in science, as part of the disappearing species of international female scientists in France and perhaps every/elsewhere, I want to bring your special attention to our institute's open call for group leaders 👩‍🔬🦠🧪🔬🤓!!! Come join me in doing some coolicious science here 🙏!

Reminder to Canadian scientists who'd like to sign this open letter to party leaders to increase tricouncil funding. It has over 1800 signatures and you can still add to it (link is in the PDF). acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

Had the honour of seeing @msmacrophage.bsky.social perform this at #hamiltonfringe last year and it was outstanding! Hilarious, educational, and a masterclass in communicating science to everyone! Definitely go see if you can.

Fantastic visit from Dr. M. Junop @westernu.bsky.social here @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social. Even better - a mini grad school reunion. Not only did I learn how to be a scientist from him, but how to run a lab with kindness, empathy, and to provide a safe space to learn from failure.

Extremely concerning, given how similar sentiments in the south have led to cancelling research with "women" or "females" in the grant. So short-sighted as research that includes and studies the "woke" often benefits all. Sorry, but research should strive to make the world better for everyone.

Fantastic event at Innovation Factory last night with the Synapse Life Science Consortium pitch competition. Exciting to see all the hard work by the teams, including some of our Biomedical Discovery and Commercialization Program students who helped with the pitches. Great work by all!

Heeding the lessons of COVID-19 in the face of avian influenza COVID-19 exposed the many ways in which we were ill-prepared to prevent and respond to pandemics. Are we applying those lessons to prevent a bird flu pandemic?

In a new op-ed for @theconversationca.bsky.social, IIDR Director Matthew Miller writes that as "we stand on the brink of an avian influenza pandemic," lessons learned from COVID-19 can help us avert disaster — but only if we act on them. #IDSKy #H5N1 #BirdFlu
