Happy International Women's Day! Today, I am celebrating the incredible strength, resilience, and achievements of women that lift me. In a world facing instability, it's women and girls who are often most affected, facing increased risks and deeper inequalities. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026

Wow. UBC has internal signature deadline that’s about 5 days before submission deadline, which is the day before CIHR deadline. People can work on Grant between signature deadline and submission deadline. (Schedule is advanced by ~1week if there’s a private sector partnership)

What is your University internal deadline like? Single deadline or double deadline? -CIHR LOI date Feb 4, 2026 -Dalhousie FoM internal deadline on Uni server Feb 12, 2026 -Dalhousie ORS internal deadline on Uni server & ResearchNet Feb 17, 2026 CIHR Deadline Mar 4, 2016 @dalhousieu.bsky.social

Imagine that. Women need a Bill that ensures women's right to healthcare. If U are 🇨🇦, and an adult, U pay taxes that go towards our social healthcare system. Therefore, all persons in 🇨🇦 are entitled to healthcare equally. Again, all people are entitled to healthcare.

Really sorry to hear that reviewers are abusing people with diseases. Hiding behind a screen does not take courage. It is cowardice. Bully tactics. Sad commentary on the quality of reviewers. In person review panels hold reviewers accountable. #CIHR being back in person review panels.

Reviewer#3, when applicant details life threatening disease(s) as reason 4 delayed productivity, you don't have 2 point out "concern 4 lack of productivity, though applicant has had health concerns". This comment is evil. Empathy is a sign of humanity. Do better! #CIHR being back F-2-F reviews.

13% success rates at #CIHR, is a really 87% fail rate for>4000 scientists. At a time when 🇨🇦 is investing millions to recruit more scientist into a broken funding environment. 🇨🇦, U need a strong science foundation 2 attract success. #CIHR, fix your science foundation, it is eroding in real time

Devastated to learn of the passing of Dr. Kirsty Duncan. She was a brilliant scientist, a fierce advocate for safe sport, and a truly kind person. Canada has lost a real champion for #STEM. Our hearts goes out to her family and loved ones. What a tremendous loss. #KirstyDuncan #CdnPoli

Deeply saddened 2 hear about the passing of Dr. Kirsty Duncan. She was much more than a politician.

I appreciate your frustration. The delays U highlight also impact mid- & senior-career investigators. Further 2 this, discovery pipelines R stalled, funding decisions R delayed, & translation 2 translational output is impacted. For 2026, can we pull the plug on stalling dissemination of science.
