While Lewis has written many academic papers I think this might be his first opinion piece (?). The US is definitely having its issues, but unfortunately so is Canada. Given that it’s election time let’s hope that the incoming federal government, whoever it is, takes science seriously.

Changes to MSc, PhD and postdoc funding programs from 🇨🇦 tri councils. Harmonization across councils, more awards, and new eligibility for international PhD and postdoc applicants!
NSERC - Latest News - Launch of the new Harmonized Tri-agency Scholarship and Fellowship programs
As announced in Budget 2024, the scholarship and fellowship programs administered by the three federal research funding agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) – have been streamlined into a new harmonized talent program called the Canada Research Training Awards Suite (CRTAS) that will open for applications in summer 2025.
