This is correct. The entire goal of being a scientist is to disseminate your findings and knowledge to as many people as possible. This is also how we are awarded grants and maintain academic positions.

Children are bearing the brunt of escalating violence across the #MiddleEast.

Reports of over 100 children killed in #Iran are heartbreaking and unacceptable.

Conservatives introduce motion to restrict temporary health coverage - iPolitics Opposition party calls on the government to restrict federal benefits received by rejected asylum claimants to emergency life saving health care only.

Conservatives want to strip refugee health care, and Liberals are already forcing them to pay out-of-pocket for medicine.

Denying preventative care doesn't save moneyβ€”it just pushes people into ERs and costs taxpayers more.

Stop scapegoating. Fix the backlogs.

Alberta's flu season deadliest in recent memory as experts call for action

That’s just under last year’s total and the lowest uptake since 2010-11
