🚨NEW SURVEY🚨

We want to know how many recent (within 10yrs) & current graduate students are looking for career opportunities outside of Canada - and how their finances impact this 💰

Please take the time to fill out the survey now! 👇

So proud of this crew for joining me today at the Standing Committee on Science and Research! 🧡

More clips to come from my witness statement, BUT we showed up in numbers today and we made our voices heard! 🙌🏼

[Sarah Laframboise @SLaframboise14]

TODAY WAS AMAZING! 👏

So thankful to everyone who showed up in Ottawa for the #SupportOurScience walkout! And to @MBJDepute, @CanningsNDP and @StanKutcher for joining us today. 🧡🎉

TOMORROW the science community in Canada will walkout in support of our graduate students and postdocs who haven't received a raise in 20 YEARS!

Here in Ottawa, we will be marching to Parliament Hill for speeches at 2:25PM!

20 years ago, I wanted to be Hermione Granger. The 2nd Harry Potter movie came out and PhDs made the same I make now.

#SupportOurScience because 20 years was long enough for me to figure out that being a witch wasn’t a really career choice and now… neither is being a scientist

#Budget2023 claims: "[Canada's spending] on research and development as a share of GDP has exceeded all other G7 countries". Let's check the data 👇. Hmm🤔, maybe it is time to stop lying @cafreeland & @JustinTrudeau, we're scientists & we know data. #SupportOurScience

[Marc Johnson @evoecolab]

Sadly, the brain drain is already underway. In 2019, 38% of freshly minted PhDs were immediately leaving for better opportunities outside of Canada. Those numbers are likely higher today. The brain drain in just PhDs is costing our economy at least $740M/year #SupportOurScience

[Sarah Laframboise @SLaframboise14]

#IAmAGradStudent and #Budget2023 means that less and less people can pursue science and research in Canada. #GradStudents are struggling... and if you need proof read the @OttawaSciPolNet's survey report: https://t.co/b04GJnkNHf

So proud of @SLaframboise14 and all other @BMIGSA @CMMNSCGSA students/PDFs for their advocacy. @JustinTrudeau @ChiefSciCan IN ADDITION, 🙏 ⬆️💲for Canadian science (Naylor Report). At this point, status quo is unconscionable #SupportOurScience

[BMIGSA uOttawa @BMIGSA]

Today, we along with students from the @CMMNSCGSA and @SEPH_GSA met with the @UOttawa Provost @jillscott68 to discuss the changes in Admission Scholarships to the Faculty of Medicine.

We are thankful to @JillScott68 for taking the time to discuss this with us 😌
