The typ of papers we publish inEvolutionary Applications !

Also important to point out that for students who do not receive this scholarships, stipends are actually even lower…..
I wouldn’t be in grad school if not for the support of my partner and parents together. How is this fair for students who don’t have such support systems??

Wake up Canada. Our Excellence and very competitive scholarships have not changed at 21.5K$ since 2003. Meanwhile in Australia, double that at 43K$.

1st week back to school & my thoughts are with the 300K grad students and postdocs struggling to make ends meet, to find housing, afford food, pay tuition, all while solving the greatest problems facing Canada. Chrystia Freeland Justin Trudeau we must do better #SupportOurScience

Canada has the 2nd lowest proportion of its populations holding doctoral degrees among G7 nations, and well below the OECD average. It is time to #SupportOurScience

Loïc Pellissier, me & crew teamed up to create the first massive online open course on #eDNA analysis. Spread the word to anyone interested in learning more about eDNA. Accessible to all levels, but target audience is those with very little to no experience.

Research grants like the NSERC Discovery Grant, have stagnated in the past 5 years, despite 17% inflation in the economy! 😱

Increased pay for grad students and postdocs can only be achieved by increasing the value of research grants, along with scholarships and fellowships.

Wondering how to expand your #bioinformatics skills into #epigenetic territory? Our virtual #Epigenomics Analysis workshop in October will cover ChIP-seq and WGBS techniques and interpretation as well as tools for integrative epigenomics analysis. 🔗 bioinformatics.ca/workshops-all/…
