@AirCanada you cancelled my Sunday morning flight and just 1 hour later told me there are no options to rebook me within 3 days on any airline. That my only option is reimbursement. It’s a lie. I see many flights available. They’re just $$. You’re obliged to rebook me - do it!

Thanks! A lot of work already, and throughout the whole project no doubt. But it would be so satisfying and to implement projects with such a high degree of vision.

Terrible. I’m so sorry to see this.

That’s awesome. Congrats. CFREF or NFRF-T (which we are trying for) would be such a gift.

Indeed. It hardly feels worth even trying with CIHR. Which program shave you found success otherwise, if you don’t mind sharing?

My thoughts exactly Esther when I saw this stat. 14% again. Couldn’t believe it. And then to hear other panels fared even worse. I thought the gov had promised more tricouncil funding and that we should be seeing it by now? This current reality is just devastating.

Seems like there are a lot of new folks here. Sharing a starter pack I made - Biomedical scientists in Canada 🇨🇦🧪. Let me know if you'd like to be added!

Trump’s NIH cuts aren’t just numbers. They are delayed cures, abandoned treatments, futures stolen, lives that will be lost. This is why we Stand Up For Science.

Horrific. Hard to believe this is the world we now live in.

How exciting!

Scientific conferences are leaving the US amid border fears Some meetings have been put on hold in response to foreign researchers’ travel concerns.

"A growing reluctance to hold scientific conferences in the United States “will have an impact on the cities that have established themselves as conference hosting cities”." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A bioprinting approach for high-throughput production of micropatterned neuroepithelial tissues and modeling TSC2-deficient brain malformations In vitro human pluripotent stem cell-derived models have been crucial in advancing our understanding of the mechanisms underlying neurodevelopment, though knowledge of the earliest stages of brain for...

Thrilled to receive positive reviews on our newest paper in Cell Reports Methods this morning (Pre-print here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)! And after just returning from a great few days with colleagues in Montreal. Often in research the exciting things cluster together 😀

This is what happens when you support Science& scientists

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Wonderful work by @nataliabaumann.bsky.social & the @djabaudon.bsky.social team showing how progenitor metabolism regulates region-specific neurogenesis! Glad our group could contribute, thanks to Eleonora Conti & Roberto Sansevrino.

All of this, right here… 👇

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?! 🤚

Hope so. 😎✨

Honestly, this would literally drive Cdns (namely me) crazy for the next four years. I really need calm and a sense of peace that Captain Canada (namely Mark Carney) would provide. A daily diet of anger and anxiety under a Poilievre gov is unimaginable. #Cdnpoli

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:...

The election in Canada 🇨🇦 is a big deal - advance voting now over, election day is April 28th. Big possibility to elect a rational and capable Prime Minister. Please remember to vote in a week - don't assume the outcome is guaranteed, polling is getting tighter. And consider strategic voting. 🇨🇦

Presidents have one job.

“Preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States. “

This post is Donald Trump fully and publicly admitted he is incapable of it.

Congress must enforce the 14th amendment and remove him.

Hoping the inscription resonates with some 🙏

So great to hear this! I’m heading out shortly.
