At the Assamby of First Nations AGA in Winnipeg with @genomecanada.ca — listening, learning, and building true partnerships. #Genomics in Canada must be rooted in respect, reciprocity & Indigenous data sovereignty.

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Mostly genes.
The number of people diagnosed with autism as screening has improved and the definition of autism has been expanded.

Move over eDNA! 🧬 #eRNA technology is now capable of detecting #freshwater organisms in real time. RNA breaks down much faster, but this is its advantage and can provide greater insights into what #biodiversity is present 🌍

How environmental RNA can give us a real-time picture of freshwater biodiversity

Recent studies have demonstrated that eRNA, previously considered too unstable for field use, can be reliably detected in freshwater ecosystems.

We’re excited to reveal the official branding of CS-DCC and AG-ACt, together forming the Climate-Smart Agri-Food Network. Funded by @genomecanada.ca, the Network’s new visual identity clearly reflects our shared mission in agricultural genomics, action, and climate-smart data.

Unveiling Our Network’s New Identity

Featuring a leaf for agri-food and sustainability. Green represents balance and environmental resilience.

Featuring a lightbulb with filaments for knowledge and collaboration. Purple represents diversity and innovation.

Featuring an ascending graph for data and growth. Blue represents trust, stability, and science-based solutions.

Sad to hear that Dr. Henry Friesen, who had a transformative influence on health research in Canada, has died at age 90. He discovered the hormone prolactin and founded the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, among his many accomplishments. www.cdnmedhall.ca/laureates/he...
