Had such a great time learning with and from the other members of the @ChiefSciCan Youth Council last week. Excited to see where the rest of our mandate brings us 😁
Special shout-out to the @IOGca and @R_mmoore for schooling us on #SciPol and #SciComm 🤓

Delighted that the new members of my youth council had the opportunity to meet my team recently and learn about the work of the OCSA. We look forward to working with these bright young scientists and hearing their views on the future of science in 🇨🇦.

Did you know that Canada invests ~40% less than peer countries on research & development? 🥼
We’re interested in how this impacts the retention of graduate students at Canadian universities - please fill out our survey below! 👇

A Vancouver woman who went to hospital seeking help for suicidal ideation says a clinician told her "the system is broken," there are long waits to see a psychiatrist, and: "Have you considered [medical assistance in dying?]?" theglobeandmail.com/gift/e0c398c06…

I got the chance to contribute to a recent article published in @Brain1878 🧠
The team identified novel pathogenic variants in FILIP1 for the first time and I performed in silico predictions of changes to protein stability & non-covalent interactions 💻

The vice-president of the Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers now openly admits people have chosen euthanasia because of poverty, after her organization spent years calling anyone who said this a liar. But she says it's okay because it's not illegal per se.

Using percentage-of-deaths-in-region as a metric for thinking about a preventable illness is absurd even leaving aside all of the risks from "mild" Covid cases.
Suppose drunk driving deaths doubled. According to @CDCgov, that means we should care less about preventing Covid!?

The @CDCgov has rolled out its new post-emergency COVID-19 Data Tracker
Among changes, COVID now visualized as % of deaths via @NCHStats data from around country
Most states this past week are between "minimal" to "low" COVID-19 deaths
