‘Nation-building’ projects should by more than 'stuff' like pipelines and infrastructure. They should include programs that reflect Canadian values like equitable access to health care, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

I updated my funding curves last night. Here are the results for new and competitive renewal grants. The rate of investment has dropped substantially. This is apparently due to a requirement for DOGE review. I am calling this effect the "Downward DOGE" 1/2

"...at least one committee was told recently by a whistleblower that all research grants to the state were going to be cancelled..."

“Sources said the administration is specifically considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems…The UC system is the state’s third largest employer, and both systems are major engines of research…”

This year’s Science Rendezvous event co-hosted by @uhn.ca's STEM Pathways and @sinaihealth.bsky.social's SciHigh brought science to life for over 200 attendees! Thank you to all the volunteers who created an afternoon full of discovery.🤖🧠➡️ www.uhnresearch.ca/news/celebra...

UHN is grateful and honoured to have called Dr. James Till, one of the fathers of stem cell science, a valued member of TeamUHN. His many colleagues and students continue their work in his legacy, furthering stem cell science and cancer research, and improving patient outcomes.

Jim Till was not only an amazingly gracious and generous scientist, he was a true advocate for young researchers, women in science and accessibility of data. A 🇨🇦 giant.

Saddened to hear of the death of Jim Till, at age 94. He was the co-discoverer of transplantable stem cells (with Ernest McCulloch), a discovery that revolutionized cancer treatment. www.legacy.com/ca/obituarie... www.cdnmedhall.ca/laureates/ja... via @pmresearch-uhn.bsky.social

It's F and J visas

UHN marks the passing of Dr. James Till, whose work with Dr. Ernest McCulloch first demonstrated the existence of blood-forming stem cells in 1961 at Ontario Cancer Institute, now Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. His work has helped launch the field of #stemcell science.

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it: The expulsion of expertise from government and academia during Mao's Cultural Revolution devastated China for decades, particularly in science and technology. That profound harm led the country to take education as seriously as it does today. wapo.st/3YTivKW
