In Canada, proposed cuts of 15% across the federal government would have a dramatic effect on already globally decimated research & science.

Join Canada's research & science community and tell PM Mark Carney to preserve the funding promised in 2024.

Congratulations to Taylor Scheidl, the senior PhD student in the Thompson lab, on her new preprint 🎉 She showed that offspring born to obese dams are more likely to become obese due to more proliferation in early-life adipose progenitors, which leads to higher adipocyte numbers.

Hey everyone who signed the letter about increasing funding for research in Canada, you can fill in this consultation and write in "Double Tri-council funding to help secure Canadian Research Sovereignty" as an option under "other" for the first question...

The government of Canada has a questionnaire about it's new budget. Most of the given options are conservative (because this is a conservative government) but there are some that aren't, and you can write in your own responses.

Bringing this thread back since this paper is currently featured as the Endocrinology Article of the Week! 🎉This paper was the result of years of hard work during my PhD and it wouldn't have been possible without the excellent mentorship from Francis and the collaborative efforts of all co-authors.

Best places to get work/writing done, according to my brain:
1. Planes ✈️
2. Trains 🚅
