We are excited to announce the 5th annual Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences Research Symposium taking place on March 8, 2024 at the David Braley Health Sciences Centre! Abstracts are due January 29! Don't forget to register by February 5 at macbbsrs.wordpress.com/how-to-registe…. #BBSRS2024
Congratulations to newly minted Dr. @YaegerLuke on an outstanding #PhD defence! 🎉Thanks again to external @traivio for visiting us @BBS_McMasterU - was a blast! Thanks also to @JohnWhitneyIIDR @surette_m & @gerryiidr for your help!
We can’t treat our young scientists who will discover the cures of tomorrow and drive the knowledge based economy of the future as if they were not worthy of our support. We can and must do better @ScienceUpFirst @sciencepolicy @DalScience @CDNScience

📣 82% of grad students & post-docs would leave Canada or program if they DO NOT see change in the #2024budget, 61% are VERY LIKELY to do so! #SupportOurScience 🚨 This is too HIGH! Will we see change in the 2024 budget? @JustinTrudeau @FP_Champagne @cafreeland @markhollandlib
If we DO NOT see an increase in funding for grad students & post-docs in the 2024 budget, how LIKELY are you to leave Canada for other opportunities or leave your program? #SupportOurScience #Budget2024 is Canada’s chance to retain talent & help reduce brain drain!🧠

We are 20 years overdue in getting adequate funding to support our graduate student and postdoctoral researchers. If we want the best people doing the best research, we need to invest!
Budget 2024 is currently being finalized - and after 20 years of stagnant funding, it's about time graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are included! Use the link to call, email, and tweet at decision-makers before March 8th👇#SupportOurScience supportourscience.ca/action-budget-…

It's a good thing I started my lab in (checks notes) 2005... 😂😂😂 Hopefully correlation does not equal causation, I am very sorry if I have offended any government decision-makers.
I’m usually only positive on here, but this downward trend is impossible to ignore and worth pointing out to those that are not aware.
