And here it is: Canada's Policy on Sensitive Technology Research and Affiliations of Concern.

It shall be interesting to see how it will be broadly implemented.

Ah, yes. Fisheries Research Board of Canada, anyone?

At one time the preeminent aquatic research & advisory body in Canada, and arguably the world. Killed off by Trudeau the Elder in the early 1970s, preceding the Harper vandalism of aquatic science, & science generally, by > 3 decades.

Pro tip:
If you have any personal pet peeve phrases that you don't want to talk about on a panel, don't tell folks about it in advance...

I'm part of a closing panel discussion at Canadian quantum conference today.

Crowd sourcing hot takes for improving the quantum in Canada, across academia, industry, and gov't. 🔥

GO!

As a federal research funder who tries to have a meaningful conversation annually about EDI practices with each of our grant $$ holders ... Yep. A good number are mailing it in. Copy-paste the university's EDI statement.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/uwindsor-whistleblower-hotline-1.6800285 "Canada is essentially a wasteland for whistleblower protection," said David Hutton, senior fellow with the Whistleblowing Initiatives Steering Committee at Toronto Metropolitan University's Centre for Free Expression (CFE). "We have a system that's been in place for 17 years which has never protected a single whistleblower in that time." #cdnsci

It's that time of year again, for researchers in Canada who are renewing @NSERC_CRSNG Discovery Grants. I hope everyone who submitted proposals received good news, both for themselves and the communities they support.

Great news for science policy in 🇨🇦! Are you a scientist and wondering what this is all about?

Introducing a new Slack platform for early career researchers to learn and engage with SciPol and coherently interact between groups!

This is the most macro nano reactor I’ve seen. Fucking awesome. Note how the entire thing is on wheels so it can be moved to a ventilated space while in operation.
And no the black thing on the right is not a portable stereo. It’s a vacuum pump (see label). #science #nanomateriaux #cdnsci #chemiverse #engineering #nanomaterials #engineersrock

In my quantum mechanical description of science policy:
\[ |\mathrm{science} \rightarrow \mathrm{policy}\rangle + |\mathrm{policy} \rightarrow \mathrm{science}\rangle\]

⬆️
this issue is the latter, where these are policy decisions affecting the doing of science in 🇨🇦
