Researchers in Canada got most of what they were hoping for in the country’s 2024 federal budget, with a big boost in postgraduate pay and more funding for research and scientific infrastructure https://t.co/lvOYnUeBBQ
I'm at #Quality2024 live, listening to @AmyCEdmondson talking about principles from her book “The Right Kind of Wrong – The Science of Failing Well”. Amy differentiates three kinds of failures in organisations:
1) Basic failures: caused by carelessness or ignorance
2) Complex failures: caused by a combination of multiple systemic factors, none of which would have caused failure on its own
3) Intelligent failures (the most productive kind): where organisations/teams test new ideas, at small scale to learn & develop.

To Canadian and international prospective grad students interested in coming to @mcgillu. The tuition rise that the QC govt is imposing ONLY impacts undergrads! So consider McGill for grad studies. Great city, friendly, collaborative, top notch research. @McGillMed @McGillGCI

Excited to report the publication of our latest paper. This collaboration, sadly one of the last with the brilliant Dr. Jerry Pelletier, pays tribute to his remarkable legacy in the field. His impact continues to guide our journey.

Happy birthday to Marie Skłodowska Curie, who was born on this day in 1867!
Marie Curie was the first person to be awarded the Nobel Prize twice, and is still the only individual to receive the prize in two different science categories.

Optimism doesn't mean being unrealistically positive and happy when the environment we are in is so difficult. Optimism is about believing that a better future is possible; looking beyond the events in front of us and identifying the actions we can take. It's about looking to engage with the situation rather than shy away from it. Optimism makes us more able to help other people move towards a better future too.
