#LongCovidMoonshot Can Bernie Sanders' LC Moonshot bill get bipartisan support?
Two things have been on my mind regarding Bernie Sanders’ #LongCovidMoonshot bill that’s just been introduced. 1. How long could this take to get passed? 2. Aside from calling our representatives, what can we do to help this get passed? @bhanlon15 @loscharlos @ahandvanish

From Kyle, Dianna’s husband: Two years ago, I married my smart, adventurous, curious best friend. I loved her curiosity and so did her 3M+ followers on her Science YouTube channel. Now, she’s been 100% bedbound with long Covid for 1.5 years. She lays in a dark room, earplugs

My daughter (age 59) has #LongCovid. She can't cope with long reports about LC. So, I send her excerpts. E.g. I've selected quotes about treatments from Dr. Topol's edifying interview of Dr. Blitshteyn. They've been posted to Tribel and to COVID Long-Haulers Support Group Canada.
Pearls on #dysautonomia, #LongCovid, #POTS from a leading expert on the front lines, Dr. Svetlana Blitshteyn @dysclinic In the new Ground Truths (link in profile)

Definitely a big step #OpenAccess #Preprints
In a bold bid to avoid open-access fees, Gates foundation says grantees must post preprints | Science | AAAS https://t.co/WKWMNzEc7p this is big. is peer review so broken that it ought be abandoned? if preprints are the future than do we need journals at all??

Exciting breakthrough: A new microfluid-based human pluripotent stem cell model now allows researchers to accurately model both the rostral-caudal and the dorsal-ventral features of early human central nervous system development. https://t.co/zhCblLgRf7

Grateful to my PhD student Sebastian Vanin and to all our collaborators including @bauhaus242 @MH_Sarikahya and Edith Arany their help on this @JEndocrinology publication. #CBD #DOHaD #pregnancy
A new study led by @DBHardyLab shows that even moderate exposure to CBD during pregnancy is linked to post-birth glucose intolerance. "This is a critical finding, given that CBD is widely marketed and perceived to be a safer option." https://t.co/xBJJSxy8mX

We, Canada, really need to rethink how we support science trainees. Either we contract and pay fewer trainees much more or we need to invest significantly more (likely both). Every funder of research needs to tackle this.
Why Canada is losing the next generation of researchers With support for graduate students at a breaking point, Canadian universities are feeling the impact. https://t.co/jYkHpRIdt1

It's not that complicated. We can and should simultaneously celebrate Dr. Kariko for her ideas and persistence in the face of adversity, while acknowledging that she succeeded in spite of us, and realize it is our duty to do whatever we can to never let it happen again.

Canada’s federal graduate scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships are not competitive! 😞 For ex, the NSF postdoctoral fellowship is valued at $106,000 CAD 🇺🇸, compared to the $45,000 🇨🇦 offered by the Tri-Agency fellowships 😱🤕 #scholarships #graduate

So happy to finally be able to make this announcement! We truly value the talent of SCN's trainees, and hope this additional support will make a difference.
📢Today, the Stem Cell Network announced $1 million in funding to support research trainees across Canada who are actively engaged in SCN’s 56 ongoing projects and clinical trials. Read more: https://t.co/HBwtVlsmGO

How does #totipotency work? 💠Drs. Takashi Ishiuchi and Mizuki Sakamoto at University of Yamanashi describe some key findings in the field and discuss how totipotency is acquired at the beginning of life 🤰. https://t.co/9e3y0vidD9

The Sun zapped our Earth on this day in 1859, worst in history, setting telegraph wires aflame. @isro is launching a probe in 12 hours to better understand how to protect ourselves. Watch #AdityaL1 live here: https://t.co/UInR7d7VnW (image @NASA)

Disappointed to see Budget 2018 commitments "announced" as "new" money today. Despite how it looks, there has been no increases to #gradstudent pay, #postdoc pay, or grants announced today... and Canada continues to fall behind our international competitors. #SupportOurScience
Today's research is tomorrow's economy. With this unprecedented new investment in our researchers and post-secondary institutions, we continue to strengthen our position as a world leader in research.

@PharmacologyCan is looking for expressions of interest for a PDF with CSPT and a partner University. Project is negotiable, hoping to find someone interested in investigating in the area of pharmacology education research. Please RT and see link
