Beyond proud of Kaitlin Kharas and the @SupportOurSci team for this AMAZING recognition as part of @Nature's 10 people who shaped science in 2024.
It's been so great to see the momentum leading to changes across the country. Let's keep it going 🧡

The funding in #Budget2024 was only possible due to the community surrounding us. We've scored a historic win for grad students & postdocs, ⬆️ financial aid, well-being & research focus. Thanks to everyone pushing for a brighter, inclusive future in research! #SOSBudget2024 🌟

Investing in research is a no-brainer!
That's why #Budget2024 supports research innovation by:
📚Investing in, and developing, a new generation of research talent
🔬Increasing research grants across disciplines
✨Updating Canada’s top research facilities

It was a pleasure to make remarks at the press conference with @SupportOurSci this week.
Canada’s research ecosystem is an engine for innovation and key to our success as a country. That means remaining competitive to retain our top talent is and must be a priority.
#cdnpoli – at Ottawa, Ontario
Parliamentary Secretary @TurnbullWhitby: “We cannot continue to innovate … if we do not retain our top talent”
We agree and look forward to seeing a major investment in graduate student and postdoctoral scholarships, fellowships and grants in #Budget2024 #SupportOurScience

OSPN continues to bring attention to Canada’s lack of support for science & research. Last week our co-president @tbail036 spoke at a press conference about how our own work has shown that this contributes to #BrainDrain and the financial instability of #GradStudents.

Research belongs to everyone.
It holds real promise for:
people and our planet
improving health, tackling the climate emergency, responding to natural disasters
new technologies and jump-starting economic growth.
Time to invest in researchers for a better future for all.
