AI generated text could be a leveler for scientists not privileged to find writing in English easy. (But you still need to think about what you want it to say!).

@Dr_Perreault I think so. In the past, more $$ in the scholarship system meant that many (and once upon a time, even most!) students could get a scholarship, and an NSERC PDF. Stagnant funding = poor stipends AND no growth in system to support increasing numbers of students.

Look at this great opportunity to work on insect cold tolerance with an excellent mentor in a top-notch department! Also... it's in Denmark, so it'll be well-paid! 10/10 would recommend.

We just scratch the surface in this, but it's a great dataset which we invite anyone and everyone to explore! Plenty of new candidate genes and process to throw into hypotheses about your favourite diapause model.

@SJC_fishy Aw shucks! It was indeed great to connect. @SJC_fishy did an impressive job of facilitating... he really put me through my intellectual paces! I was impressed at the level of engagement, depth of thinking, and open-mindedness of the whole group.

@jen_doering I like orange. no-one writes exams in orange, so you don't have to change pens for that one student.

@G_Pask @JackieLebz does cool work in the cell/molecular space.

Hey insect physiology folks - the call for symposia for @ice2024kyoto_jp is out https://t.co/peHnTdfuRq. If you do stuff similar to me and want to coordinate to be in a symposium on environmental physiology or overwintering, let me know.

Please fill in this form. Other people have also pointed out that it is locked and impossible to fill in. Please fill it in anyway.

@OMorissette Actual thing I said in a grant deliberation: "The applicant didn't list [xxx] in their CCV, but it's possible they just lost the will to go on before they got to that part of the interface"

@JuhaatLFPress I finished my PhD [checks notes] 22 years ago, and still have that dream sometimes.
It's an Indonesian Language course, FWIW. I've 1) never been to Indonesia and 2) never taken a University-level foreign language course.
