The sign is finally up at @KnowhistoryCDN's new Calgary office. This comes after a three year journey which included stints in a shared office space, a co-working space, and a historic house prior to it being picked up and relocated. They're also hiring! https://t.co/CK8EaHB4Ut
"Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world" Sir Frederick Banting, discoverer of insulin, sold the patent for $1 despite being broke at the time. He found it unethical to restrict access to the only treatment that would save millions. Worth reflection. @BantingHouse
U.S. taxpayers paid Moderna almost $1 BILLION to develop a COVID-19 vaccine.
Now Moderna plans on charging between $32 and $37 a dose.
What kind of screwed up system is this?
@mbrenes1 2/2 I would also suggest working in the private sector for a few years after a MA. This provides a finacial footing + the chance to see if you actually need the PhD to have an awesome career. The PhD will always be there.
If you're a senior undergrad, MA or PhD student, come meet Tom Van Dewark (@TomVanDewark) from Know History (@KnowhistoryCDN), to learn about jobs after you get your History Degree.
