#GradStudent scholarships and #Postdoc fellowships got a raise today for the first time in 21 years🙌
Immensely grateful to all those who have been pushing for this. It truly takes a village!
Still processing and will have more thoughts soon! But overall this👇 is great news!

Only 1 week left to apply to ComSciConCAN 2024! We're so excited to announce our amazing lineup of experts and agenda for the weekend!
Apply now so you don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to network with, and learn from, some of Canada's leading science communicators!
If you're a science grad student in Canada who loves #scicomm, this is the conference for you! I've moved to the Advisory Board this year, and I can confidently say that our team of Organizers is fantastic! Feel free to DM if you have any questions 🙂

🚨BREAKING 🚨
We've obtained a letter from the Standing Committee on Science and Research MPs urging @cafreeland to fund grad students & postdocs in the #FallEconomicStatement. This included ALL of our recommendations #SupportOurScience
Read the letter: shorturl.at/iCO05
Excited to announce that I have moved out west to start a postdoctoral researcher position @TRIUMFLab on the PIONEER Experiment! Working @NSERC_CRSNG was awesome, but it's time for me to return to the world of researching, teaching, and learning science 😍🔬

Congratulations Udbhav! Well done to you and all student presenters at #CUPC2023 @McMasterScience
Had a great time at @CAPhys CUPC 2023 conference. I’m very happy to announce I placed first overall with my talk on optimizing dose delivery during fractionated radiotherapy. Couldn’t be happier to be on the top step representing @UABradonc and @mcmasterphysics

I'm a big fantasy football player and recent amateur podcaster. Big shout out and thank you to @Murf_NFL of @5yardrush for coming on my small-time pod and bringing mad hype to my league to open the season. A real stand-up guy. Hope we can get on air together again in the future!

Help us learn more about #BrainDrain in Canada by filling out the @OttawaSciPolNet's new Survey!
Open to current and recent grads! 👇👇
🚨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.
What an incredible group of people all around. The future of Canadian science communication is bright and ever-growing! So happy to have been part of it as an Organizer and can't wait to see the awesome initiatives that stem from new collaborations! 😊🤗
Sending so much gratitude to all of the attendees, experts, and sponsors who made the amazing 2023 ComSciConCAN possible! We are still reflecting on how wonderful it was to spend the weekend with you all. Keep in touch and please always send us your #SciComm!

Thank you for joining us! Your data viz expertise was (and is!) invaluable, and it was great to have you participate in two complete conference days! You might want to work on your trivia skills for next time though 😜

Today in the @OttawaCitizen 👀
“Canada's graduate students and post-doc experts need much more support than we give them”
Thank you again to @StanKutcher for continuing to be a voice for “emerging experts” across Canada! 🧡

The main work from my PhD is finally out! Check out this fun video from the team!
ATLAS physicists have released precise new measurements of the W and Z boson momentum - a major milestone for future #Wboson mass measurements.
How did ATLAS achieve this? Dr. Fabrice Balli and Xuewei Jia explain!
