I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research).
I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

Canada plans a 15% budget cut. Scientists are alarmed
Cuts could erase promised boost, researchers fear
I can save Carney heapsβstart with NFRF, CERC & the global innovation clusters.
DONβT touch tricouncil funding.
This would be the worst ROI & catastrophic for π¨π¦βs research, innovation, training & economic development & growth.
