With the release of CIHR NOR last week, many labs across Canada will not only be worried about how to keep their research programs going but also where funding for salaries for critical research staff will come from. Changes are urgently needed

“It is very rare for universities or research institutions to support RA positions financially. Even those that have unionised positions may still require PIs to fund them out of their own grants. Inevitably, this leads to a lack of stability.” —@Bre_AnneF

Research assistants are vital – so why is their funding so precarious? Without increased support, many #RAs may choose to leave for other opportunities that provide more job security and benefits, says @Bre_AnneF

New research led by @Bre_AnneF, @LisaPorter2, and team demonstrates the potential of Spy1 to expand mammary stem cell populations and contribute to the initiation of breast cancers with increased cancer stem cell populations.

Discover the details. 👇

@LisaPorter2 @wesparkhealth @L_Porterlabrats Thank you! Lucky to be surrounded by such fabulous mentors like you who I've learned so much about impactful community outreach from!

[Bre-Anne Fifield @Bre_AnneF]

@shemanko @LisaPorter2 @wesparkhealth @L_Porterlabrats Thank you! 😊

[Bre-Anne Fifield @Bre_AnneF]

A great night celebrating how far we've come thanks to research! I feel that sharing about the promise and progress of cancer research with the community is just as important as the work I have the privilege of doing in the lab to ensure we have continued investment in research!

[Porter lab @L_Porterlabrats]

We were proud to partner with @wesparkhealth and our @CCSResearch R.I.O.T team last night to speak on the importance of research, to celebrate how far science has come, and how far we can still go. Research matters, and together we can do amazing things

@LisaPorter2 @shemanko Learned from the best 😊

[Bre-Anne Fifield @Bre_AnneF]

The perfect ending to the first in person conference in 2 years. Coming back motivated, inspired and feeling very privileged to be able to do what we do

[lisaporter2 @LisaPorter2]

Rome in a day … what a gorgeous city 🇮🇹. End of day next table over paid our bill because they heard we were cancer researchers & wife just finished treatments ❤️ Tears all around 💧& motivation to take all our info from @GordonConf and get back to @L_Porterlabrats 🤗 #grateful
