Sit and think about this graph of paediatric hospitalizations. Probably the most important of the bunch. 6/

Every one of us should be angry that one of Ontario’s largest children’s hospitals has had to call in the Red Cross to help with staffing.

Every one of us should be demanding that our government immediately invest more resources into our healthcare system.

Every one of us.

As an ant biologist, I think the discovery of “ant milk” might be the single biggest research finding during my lifetime.

Across ants, maturing pupae make a nutritional exudate for their nestmates:

I tried this art game with my 7 yo. I painted the branches and she did the birds. She kind of blew me away!

This is the antithesis of how the system is supposed to work. Not only is this disrespectful to the basic science enterprise in Canada, it stifles scientific progress, which wastes money.

RT @girls_can@twitter.com

@CIHR_IRSC@twitter.com had a project #grant call for proposals where the final #funding decision was made by non-scientists based on #secret strategic priorities not shared with applicants. @FP_Champagne@twitter.com that is NOT ok! science.org/content/article/ca

There are many avenues for gov to issue calls for proposals on their priority topics. Investigator-led calls lead to disruptive #innovation and advance basic #research questions that non-experts don’t even know we need to ask. They should be peer-assessed on #transparent criteria

This is core funding and researchers spend months crafting their applications. Then their peers invest a TON of time reviewing and ranking them. So much so that some people call for a lottery system to replace the whole process! blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocial

There are good counter arguments for why we don’t do a lottery for investigator-led research funding allocation. BUT @FP_Champagne@twitter.com there are 0 sound arguments for having the gov reorder the peer-ranking of proposals to align with secret gov priorities AFTER THE FACT.

This hijacking of the review process wasted thousands of hours of work by Canada’s research community who put their trust in the system and packaged their best ideas following the public instructions and evaluation criteria.Their research office staff & their Mentors who helped.
