Dear colleagues:

Just because there is an “average” salary range for a postdoc in a given city, this should not be a reason to NOT PAY THEM a living wage.

It is unthinkable to justify paying PDFs less money because of the city they live in.

Do better please.

One third of the time I have an imposter syndrome, another third of the time I don't have the energy to keep up with the pace of things, a quarter of the time I feel like I am managing OK, and the remaining <9% of the time I feel like I can kick ass all the way to the moon (this is when I write).

Today was another amazing day!

For the second year in a row, the Lim Lab and others labs from the @crchum.bsky.social welcomes high school students from the #Kahnawake Survival School for a day of hands-on research activities!

It’s always fun to promote #STEM #STEMM !!

Sad to hear that Dr. Henry Friesen, who had a transformative influence on health research in Canada, has died at age 90. He discovered the hormone prolactin and founded the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, among his many accomplishments. www.cdnmedhall.ca/laureates/he...

14-3-3ζ allows for adipogenesis by modulating chromatin accessibility during the early stages of adipocyte differentiation We previously established the scaffold protein 14-3-3ζ as a critical regulator of adipogenesis and adiposity, but the temporal specificity of its acti…

Congrats to Dr. Sabri Rial !

He investigated the mechanisms of how 14-3-3zeta influences adipogenesis.

FYI, he's on the PI job market and would make a fantastic colleague ;)

The Lim Lab at the @crchum.bsky.social is recruiting PhD students or Postdoctoral Fellows to study the roles of 14-3-3zeta in #adipocytes or pancreatic #betacells.

Projects are supported by CIHR, NSERC, or Diabetes Canada.

Please share with people who might be interested!

Thanks!
