Thx to @rishibansalMD for flagging this slide deck on the economic impacts of NIH funding. . US $ growth reflects bipartisan support for sustaining health research. CIHR has fallen far behind while ISED steers massive tranches of health research $. 🆘

From @jaimewatt, a clarion call for action on productivity. Are there points I'd argue or add to the agenda? Sure. But we urgently need *reasoned* action-focused debate on boosting productivity. Instead, we have rhetoric/policies that distract & delay or pander & polarize.
It’s not hyperbolic to say we are in a national productivity emergency. Nor is it to assert Canada’s leaders need to start using new tools to address it. Read my opinion on why a wartime effort is needed to solve our nation’s productivity challenge and face down Donald Trump.

Calls for a public health workforce strategy go back to the 1990s if not earlier. No coordinated plan developed or implemented - and now, unsurprisingly, we have a major HR challenge on our hands after an unprecedented pandemic.
Nearly 80% of public health staff experienced burnout and nearly 1 in 2 experienced harassment as a result of their public health work.

Note: The UK broke up its ISED kluge equivalent in February and now has a Dept of Science, Innovation & Technology. Follows other G7 nations in separating elements of RDI from Industry/Commerce while still pursuing systematic industrial strategies. Just sayin'. 2/2.

Governments abroad that are otherwise flailing around still understand the value & linkages of research, development & innovation to foster a smart successful society. E.g. The UK. Please read this summary: 1/2.

Officially off-duty as COVID-19 nark (Oz usage) w/ CITF governance end Jan 1/23. Brief relapse: Have a bad feeling about the rising # of cases, current variants, low vaccine uptake & lag times. Hope we are not sleep-walking into trouble but that's how it feels. .

A timely message from the U15's Chad Gaffield, distinguished historian, past president of SSHRC, past president of RSC.
Observers wonder if Canada is withdrawing from a long-established consensus on research underpinning the pursuit of a prosperous, just and resilient society writes U15 CEO @ChadGaffield in Canadian Science Policy Magazine. #CSPC2023. Read more here👇.

The Fall Economic Update didn't address pressing concerns of research trainees & early career researchers. Definitely a disappointment but granular research-specific issues seldom feature in FEUs. Rx: Relentlessness. Keep connecting & advocating focused on Budget 2024.
