*New preprint* Our meta-analysis on neonate ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) in the maternal immune activation 🐀 model revealed sex differences in USVs vary with developmental stage and are more pronounced in MIA offspring: doi.org/10.1101/2024.08.19.6…

The right to strike gives workers power to stand up to big corporations and demand better wages.
The federal government shouldn’t take that power away. share.canadianlabour.ca/s/Ma…

This is terrible science. The h-index is crude and heavily biased, by no means a measure of excellence or merit. Group differences, even with statistical controls, can’t show that EDI caused “weaker” researchers to be hired. Canadian scientists should push back hard against this.

More than 30 early-career researchers came together at @MemorialU for @CIHRIGH's Summer Institute to explore how sex, gender and intersectional factors can strengthen health research.

Make sure to join and share your thoughts on shifting to one competition. If they don't hear from us, this will probably go through and make the current situation look like the good old days!
