In this @globeandmail Opinion, I make the case why the Federal government's stagnant approach to funding training, research and development is hurting our economy to the detriment of Canadians. Time to #SupportOurScience https://t.co/yDIfaTJzxw . . . .

#IAmAGradStudent and #Budget2023 means that I’ll be forced to leave Canada after my PhD. A 20-year freeze on graduate and post-doctoral researcher stipends makes it impossible to remain (1/2).

@FP_Champagne said on @CBCQuirks: "I hear you...we understand and we are going to address the issue…as quickly as we can because we appreciate and value their work and want to keep them in Canada”. We now know these were #Emptywords. #SupportOurScience 2/3

#Budget2023 is making science fall behind with no increase in funding, and graduate students under the poverty line. Totally absurd since science got us out of the pandemic, and is essential to solve environmental problems. @cafreeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

@karst_justine @cs_ziegler @PeterWohlleben @jhooooks Hi @karst_justine, Which paper of yours are you referring to? Will you share a link please?

Probably a leafhopper (facing right), but it looks like an ant facing left. A remarkable case of mimicry.

VERY disappointed that @cafreeland's #falleconomicupdate contains no solutions or relief for 1000s of government funded #PhD #MSc students & #postdocs across 🇨🇦 who are facing economic hardship. Many of these scholars are working in poverty! #SupportOurScience 1/3

What are whiskers for? How do they work? And what can we learn from them? With the help of some porcupines and @BBCIdeas, here are five things you never knew about whiskers:
