Today marks the one year anniversary of the #iran plane crash Ukraine flight #752 . @L_Porterlabrats want the Iranian community and all those mourning today that we will not forget. So much talent and potential lost at once - so many shining stars. Our star was Samira Bashiri. 1/

As the year anniversary of the tragic #Flight752 approaches I received this gift from my student who was onboard the flight. She had “hunted for it” for me and her luggage did not make it on the flight. Her amazing parents sent it to me ❤️ I can’t imagine a more precious gift.

Two decades of stagnant funding have rendered Canada uncompetitive in biomedical research. Here’s...

Researchers are key to Canada’s capacity to create a high-tech economy, build the biomedical sector and seed entrepreneurial activity, but they can’t do it without research funding.

I want to thank #AcademicTwitter @L_Porterlabrats and I have been hit with a string of things that we have struggled to deal with. The latest, but least significant really, the @CIHR_IRSC losing our grant!😫 Your messages of support have truly meant a lot to me and my lab! 💕

I like to watch this graph and try to imagine what could be my research program if I will be living in early 2000' Canada. This country used to be a wonderful place for biomedical research. Why can't we do better? @JustinTrudeau @jwoodgett @cdavidnaylor CIHR success rate:
