How your email finds me.

A lot of money went to Impact+ chair and scholarships.

13.5% is the last success rate at CIRH. The government is slowly tanking the Canadian research system.

You forgot the part of the history where the British violently invaded Canada (1759-60) and deported Acadians (1755). Does not sound like a compromise and protection of minorities to me.

I am heartbroken over the death of Kirsty Duncan. She loved this country and served in Parliament with a total dedication and passion for the people of Canada.
Deepest condolences to her family and colleagues.
The Angels will welcome her.

This amazing woman worked so hard for science and sport in Canada. She set up the Standing Committee on Science and Research, was a powerful voice for science in parliament and after being diagnosed with two cancers continued to advocate for good. Proud to have known the Rt Hon Kirsty Duncan. RIP 💔

The CIHR magic occurs between 10-25%.

It's CIHR NOR's day. We can predict that 10% of applicants will be happy, 75% will be sad, and 15% will be in a limbo.

IS THIS EVEN A THING?

The update seems to be the problem. Since word was updated, endnote does not work...

Exactly. But how to solve the issue?

Endnote is not working in word since January 1st on my computer. Anyone as the same issue?

A colleague told me that he was not posting preprints anymore because he believes this reduced the interest in the final published paper (reduced number of reads and citations). In particular, in the case of manuscripts that required months/years of revisions before being accepted. Thoughts?

Le dessert est de la tape au sucre.

Ce traiteur sur St-Denis qui offre ses services pour mariage/divorce, cocktail/dinatoire m'intrigue aussi.

Hummm, is this some kind of a US version of the CCV?

Holidays are over, time to go over all those emails...

Typical winter Canadian beach, of course.

We went to the beach for the last day of the year.

On est arrivé hier soir. Mais oui, c'est super.
