Canada needs to make a major investment in graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in #Budget2024. It is no longer affordable for Canada's young talent to pursue research. @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland the success of Canada needs you to #SupportOurScience theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
Congratulations to the awesome Julia (second from right in front row), we are so proud of you!!
The 2024 3MT has concluded – thank you to all the students who participated and shared their research!
Congratulations to Julia Tropak (MSc, Chemistry) on winning this year’s competition!

Super congratulations to Dr. Manasa Ramachandra, who is PhD number 2 from the Ross lab! She wrote an incredible thesis and defended it with flying colours last week! I am a very #proudPI but I am mostly so impressed with how much she has accomplished through talent and hard work!
Also shout out to @shaunmckinnie for being a great external examiner, we look forward to hearing about all the cool science from the McKinnie lab!
Yay! Go @tdotsmvp! you rock! Thanks for hosting Neil, @ZiemertLab and @NadineZiemert , so excited to keep working together!!

So great to have you hear and looking forward to a great day of science today!
Amazing mini UAlberta/Vederas lab/curling team reunion today in Kingston 🇨🇦 with @colpittsc @ctlohans @AvenaRoss and @Matt_T_Zamora! Excited to visit Queens tomorrow, share our science, and participate in the PhD thesis defense of Ross lab member Manasa!

We are deeply disappointed that graduate students and postdoctoral scholars were not included in today's Fall Economic Statement.
Without investments, Canada will continue to fail its most vulnerable researchers #SupportOurScience

Canadian grad students & post-docs are getting paid under 30K & 50K, respectively. @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland how is this enough for a living in Canada? Researchers in Canada are undervalued & underpaid. #SoSAdvocacyWeek23 #SupportOurScience
1/3 We want to demonstrate that Canadian funding is NOT ENOUGH. Vote on these polls so we can show that we are in need of funding changes coast to coast.
If you are a Canadian 🇨🇦 Master’s student what is your stipend before tuition costs? #SosAdvocacyWeek23

#FactFriday Did you know that Canada has the lowest spending on research and development among the #G7, with no increase in the last 20 years?
#Canada is falling behind in research and development and it's time we catch up 🕐

Stipends for graduate students in Canada have not risen for 20 years. Almost 90% of graduate students say they experience financial stress, according to a survey by @OttawaSciPolNet. Almost a third have considered leaving their studies due to finances.

#FactFriday Did you know that graduate students holding a Tricouncil award like #NSERC and #SSHRC can't afford to live in a 1-bedroom apartment in the city they study in. How can we expect researchers to make advances in Science when they can't make rent? 😱 #SupportOurScience
Thanks so much for the invitation, I am really looking forward to meeting the awesome scientists at @CiimarUp and sharing some of our work from @QueensChem
