Due tomorrow! The @Reclaiming_STEM application is pretty quick ☺️
We acknowledge the lack of female representation in this year’s trainee award recipients. This award is self-nominated, and only 9% of applicants were female. We endeavour to raise awareness about our funding opportunities in an effort to encourage more researchers to apply.
Please help! Does anyone know any women researchers? @msfhr @ubcscience @BCAHSN @500womensciVan @BCSUPPORTUnit @FOR_Van @ICORD_SCI @BCCancer_GSC @VanOpenData @BCIRPU @WWEST_SFU @ResearchonWH @DMCBrainHealth @BCCHresearch @BCWomensHosp @ubcspph @UBCMGPS @lifesciences_bc

My thoughts on the Haldane principle in Canada. The Haldane principle is "the idea that decisions about what to spend research funds on should be made by researchers rather than politicians". Also, new @getpelican blog! No more @Medium. hoffman.bitbucket.io/2019/haldane.h…
Thrilled to announce that one of our founders, @Sciencish, is going to be taking what we learned about the needs of early career researchers at the FoR Vancouver Symposium & will be applying it directly to @CIHR_IRSC policy, as he begins work with their Science Strategy team

Did you know I'm vice-chair of membership of the Canadian Association of Postdoctoral Scholars (@CAPSACSP)? I normally get ~5 memberships to process every week, BUT it's time to blow that out! CAPS can provide you with CPP & EI, & the deadline to apply for this year is coming up!
Grant rejection is the path to the dark side. (credit to Gabriella Darmasaputra who came up with the joke)
CIHR is collecting data on what we want the future of health research to look like. This will be particularly relevant to early career researchers, so please take the time to fill out the survey & spread it around bit.ly/CIHRIRSC #ECRs
A great summary of why Canadian scientists are still pushing to be heard nature.com/articles/d4158…
May 29th #ECRWednesday webinar will focus on mental health with @ThisIsJoFrank @susannalharris @ItGetsBrighter Join us to help raise awareness and to learn about initiatives that support early career researchers @eLifeCommunity elifesciences.org/events/a773eaf…
Many graduate students + postdocs report having inadequate or poor mentorship relationships. This affects mental health & career progression. eLife wants to know what your mentorship experience has been ecrlife.org/2019/03/05/ass…
This is huge
Female scientists are underrepresented in the applications we've received so far for our #eLifeAmbassadors programme. Please RT and encourage the #WomenInSTEM you know to apply! cc @500womensci @4womeninscience @womenofsci @BlackWomenSTEM @STEMWomen @labhopping @Science_Grrl

eLife are looking for Community Ambassadors who want to create a culture of openness, collaboration and transparency in academia. Could be an interesting opportunity for anyone looking to be part of the conversation over how we do science ow.ly/O7Ur30o0g5h
Postdocs play an important role in the scientific enterprise, yet they often seem to slip through the cracks. From our own @Brianne_Kent universityaffairs.ca/opinion/the-bl…

US postdocs just successfully lobbied for a minimum wage of $50K. And Canadian research continues to play catch up
