The importance of sustainable public funding in academic research
During the first week of November 2020, I had the pleasure to participate at Hill Week next to amazing and inspiring colleagues from the Canadian Association for Neuroscience (CAN). CAN is the largest association of neuroscientists in Canada representing over one thousand professors, post-doctoral trainees, MSc and PhD candidates and research professionals working to advance the field of neuroscience. The main aim of our meetings was to inform members of the parliament and government officials about the struggles research laboratories face and request a sustainable increase in federal funding for academic research.
