The Lim Lab at the @crchum.bsky.social is recruiting PhD students or Postdoctoral Fellows to study the roles of 14-3-3zeta in #adipocytes or pancreatic #betacells.
Projects are supported by CIHR, NSERC, or Diabetes Canada.
Please share with people who might be interested!
Thanks!

Perhaps the devil is in the details, but it's disappointing to know that
@mark-carney.bsky.social would rather budget up to $1B to support and recruit international researchers than to support to talent already in Canada.

The Canadian government has seemingly never read a single one of its own commissioned reports on what Canadian science needs. (It's not more people.)
Globe & Mail reports “the budget is expected to include up to $1-billion to attract high-quality talent and researchers from the United States and elsewhere”
So far hospitals and universities have been going it alone….

In Canada, proposed cuts of 15% across the federal government would have a dramatic effect on already globally decimated research & science.
Join Canada's research & science community and tell PM Mark Carney to preserve the funding promised in 2024.

Dear colleagues:
Just because there is an “average” salary range for a postdoc in a given city, this should not be a reason to NOT PAY THEM a living wage.
It is unthinkable to justify paying PDFs less money because of the city they live in.
Do better please.

There is still a spot for a PhD student or Postdoc in the Lim Lab! If you are interested in metabolism, 14-3-3 proteins, adipocytes, or beta-cells, please email me (details at www.limlab.ca). International applicants are welcome!
Positions are fully funded. Looking forward to working with you!

One third of the time I have an imposter syndrome, another third of the time I don't have the energy to keep up with the pace of things, a quarter of the time I feel like I am managing OK, and the remaining <9% of the time I feel like I can kick ass all the way to the moon (this is when I write).

For the second year in a row, the Lim Lab and others labs from the @crchum.bsky.social welcomes high school students from the #Kahnawake Survival School for a day of hands-on research activities!
It’s always fun to promote #STEM #STEMM !!

Congrats to Dr. Sabri Rial !
He investigated the mechanisms of how 14-3-3zeta influences adipogenesis.
FYI, he's on the PI job market and would make a fantastic colleague ;)
