Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars contribute enormously to a body of knowledge the drives innovation, development and economic growth #SupportOurScience #ReturnOnInvestment 11/X

[Support Our Science @SupportOurSci]

The research performed by graduate students and postdoctoral scholars is driving Canada’s innovation and economic growth. Imagine how much more they could do if the government gave them their first substantial increase in 20 years #SupportOurScience #ReturnOnInvestment 10/X

Most university research contributing to patents is carried out by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers—they are essential to driving Canada's economic growth #SupportOurScience #ReturnOnInvestment 9/X

Les investissements dans la recherche en santé réalisés par des étudiants des cycles supérieurs et des chercheurs postdoctoraux incitent l'industrie à dépenser plus de 8 fois le montant de l'investissement initial #SoutenezNotreScience #RetourSurInvestissement 7/X

[Support Our Science @SupportOurSci]

Investments in health research performed by graduate students and postdoctoral scholars stimulate industry to spend >8x the amount of the initial investment. The more we put into the system, the more we get back #SupportOurScience #ReturnOnInvestment 7/X

Excited to share our work with @mlphillips17 about 9-color calcium imaging under a GRIN miniscope!

Functional imaging of nine distinct neuronal populations under a miniscope in freely behaving animals.

Wow! for reference:
🇺🇲 Current Postdoc fellowship in US $56 USD = 76.8k CAD
Recommended US $70k USD = 95.2k CAD

Meanwhile in Canada...
🇨🇦 Current fellowships are $45k CAD.
@SupportOurSci recommends increasing to $61k

The minimum for UofT $36k, at associated hospitals $50k

We now produce serial killers of serial killers!

We developed self-propelled CAR T cells engineered to express "velocity receptors" to infiltrate solid tumors readily.

Successfully tested in mice bearing lung, pancreatic and ovarian tumors.

Canada’s MSc, PhD and postdoctoral researchers are the country's largest research & innovation work force. There are 3.8x more grad & postdoc researchers than federal scientists and professors combined. They are critical to 🇨🇦's success #SupportOurScience #ReturnOnInvestment 4/X
