🚨NEW SURVEY🚨
We want to know how many recent (within 10yrs) & current graduate students are looking for career opportunities outside of Canada - and how their finances impact this 💰
Please take the time to fill out the survey now! 👇

ALT This is an advertisement for the OSPN survey on the mobility of Canadian graduate students. The text reads "Mobility of Canadian Graduate Students. A survey exploring the factors that impact students' choice to stay in or leave Canada". It has a dark red background, and the text is in lighter shades of red. There is a graphic in the bottom left corner of two people with graduation caps and carrying bags. They are looking at a globe as if deciding where to go.

20 years ago, I wanted to be Hermione Granger. The 2nd Harry Potter movie came out and PhDs made the same I make now.
#SupportOurScience because 20 years was long enough for me to figure out that being a witch wasn’t a really career choice and now… neither is being a scientist

#Budget2023 claims: "[Canada's spending] on research and development as a share of GDP has exceeded all other G7 countries". Let's check the data 👇. Hmm🤔, maybe it is time to stop lying @cafreeland & @JustinTrudeau, we're scientists & we know data. #SupportOurScience

Sadly, the brain drain is already underway. In 2019, 38% of freshly minted PhDs were immediately leaving for better opportunities outside of Canada. Those numbers are likely higher today. The brain drain in just PhDs is costing our economy at least $740M/year #SupportOurScience

“This situation has significantly eroded Canada’s position as a global hub for the attraction and retention of research-enabled talent,” #BouchardReport said. “Canada is at serious risk of another brain drain without reinvestment.” globe2go.pressreader.com/art…

#IAmAGradStudent and #Budget2023 means that less and less people can pursue science and research in Canada. #GradStudents are struggling... and if you need proof read the @OttawaSciPolNet's survey report: ottawasciencepolicynetwork.c…

So proud of @SLaframboise14 and all other @BMIGSA @CMMNSCGSA students/PDFs for their advocacy. @JustinTrudeau @ChiefSciCan IN ADDITION, 🙏 ⬆️💲for Canadian science (Naylor Report). At this point, status quo is unconscionable #SupportOurScience

It's a wrap!! Thank to all the scientists and researchers for coming today!!
Science and innovation lies at the heart of society, and our government needs to support the next generation of researchers to ensure Canada's prosperity for the years ahead #SupportOurScience
