Great collaboration with Topisirevic Lab at McGill University and nice use of polyA track technology for creating hypomorphs. See how reduced expression of the mitochondrial enzyme electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase (ETFDH) in cancer cells promotes tumor growth through changes in 4E-BP1. @mcgillu @DrPostovit #mitochondria #cancer

Research is a public good.
It is a fundamental building block of our country that we all have a stake in.
It is essential to the health, prosperity, security and sovereignty of Canada.
Canada has world class researchers who help build a better future.
They need our support.

This new clinic & these family docs are doing the best they can & providing much needed access. But people should not have to line up in the cold to get access to primary care. We need a national system with guaranteed access for everyone. Let’s get organized! #RightToPrimaryCare
Hundreds line up outside Kingston clinic in desperate bid for family doctor. Hours-long wait demonstrates 'crisis in access to care,' by @emmacweller

Read this if you care about #science & its economic benefits. Marc Johnson says we are "being left in the dust of countries more creative, industrious & ambitious. Canada’s anemic approach to R&D is leaving large economic gains on the table." theglobeandmail.com/business… #braindrain
