No preferential treatment on this front from the political class and no re-election strategy there: UToronto graduate students and postdocs are as starving as UBC’s
#SupportOurScience Funding for grad students and post docs is abysmal and doesn't keep up with cost of living. We're innovators and pushing the boundaries of knowledge and I have to live in a box. Support funding for science in your area!

Amazing work Noa, and we were so happy to collaborate with Kemi Ola on this retrospective study. And thanks to @FirasM for the massive assist with data vis! The punchline of the paper: people found the start of COVID really hard! Not surprising, but nice to see it in a chart.

This looks like an inspiring talk by @JaclynJStewart that I'm sure has implications way beyond Chemistry! I think all educators can relate to wanting to value and elevate every student in our large classes. Please post a video if it's recorded!!
