This is heartbreaking. I am so sorry for Becky and her family. Her love for Sophie was so deep and her advocacy for Angelman Syndrome was so impactful.

Wishing everyone attending the GSA Drosophila Research Conference in Chicago a great time! Sorry I couldn't be there this year 😢

Exactly - and even that is tough if you don't get them. But for CIHR to go back to one a year (when did they do that, I can't remember?) with these success rates basically means that 87% of grants are not supported. Which is fine if you don't want there to be thriving research in your country 🤔😡

Oh my god - is this even being discussed again?!?! That would be catastrophic for Canadian science. Forget about all those fancy chairs, they would all bail. And the rest of us will fade into the mist...

Same in Vancouver - a gorgeous sunny spring day! Cherry blossoms are starting and daffodils are in full swing. Enjoy the sun!

How terrifying for her and you. Sending you strength.

Wondering if all this scrambling & time pressure to secure CERC & CI+RC candidates is going to bite Canadian Institutions in the butt…

Though I am 💯 for attracting international talent & growing R&I in Canada, this whole approach & process has been problematic in so many ways: .. 1/

Thank you!! That is a relief!

Yes! Chris Tam will present his work characterizing developmental roles for Cdk8.

Yes, one of my grad students will be there presenting a poster! I wish I could come but scheduling didn't allow it.. 🙁

This is in the CCV CIHR - Academic. But it does not appear in the CCV - Biosketch. Which is the correct one for a Project Grant? I thought Biosketch but then I saw instructions that said Academic. Help!?

Honestly CIHR CCV.. you really need degree start dates now for all the undergrads that have worked in my lab?? Talk about a make-work project when there is so much more pressing work to be done...

Haha yes, London UK!

My son lives in London now and told me that it rained every day in January 😂

I think of it more like Sisyphus ... you get so close, so much data, great ideas, and yet ...

Here you go! Not my beach photo but a gorgeous allee of trees in the bright sunshine.

My last 'lacrosse' post was meant to be a reply to this one 😂 Somehow it is its own post, and oddly out of context!

And one in Baltimore, my hometown!

When I moved to Canada I learned there was box lacrosse in addition to field lacrosse, which I had played and only ever called 'lacrosse'.

Just sharing in case you need a bit of serene beauty. Feel so blessed to live here #Vancouver

You still have an office phone??
