  5. Meet Ioanna Tountas, a master’s student in #Biology in Dr Alisa Piekny’s lab. Her research explores how the mechanisms that control #celldivision change as #stemcells differentiate into other cell types, and how disruptions in these processes can lead to #disease.

  10. from the article: "Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, also enlisted two Israeli security firms: Perceptage International, led by Adam Cohen, the former head of security for the Israeli Central Court in Jerusalem, and Moshav Security Consulting, operated by Eyal Feldman, a former Israeli army reserve commander and ex-advisor to the Israeli Ministry of Defence." 🤮 🤬

  11. In a positive outlook for 2024, #universities across #Canada are introducing more #PlantBased or #vegan food options. Many of the universities have stated this is due to ongoing demand from students for more variety - and a larger push for more sustainable practices.

    A number of universities are taking the lead, notably:

    -#WesternUniversity. The university set a goal of having a 40 per cent plant-based menu at all dining halls by the new year, but it hit the target — and at some points even surpassed it — this year. A fully vegan outlet will open in 2024, and the school wants to reach a 50 per cent target in 2025.
    -#TheUniversityOfBritishColumbia. 55 per cent of the food in dining halls is plant-based, and the Vancouver school hopes to reach a goal of 80 per cent by 2025.
    -#ConcordiaUniversity in Montreal plans to reduce its purchase of meat, dairy and eggs by 30 per cent.
    -#DalhousieUniversity in Halifax aims to offer a menu with at least 50 per cent plant-based food options by 2030.
    -#UniversityOfToronto. Plant-based options represented less than half of the universities food services offerings two years ago, but now account for 61 per cent.

    Vegan Australia is advocating for Australian universities* to gain inspiration from these progressive examples, and embrace a fully vegan food system for the benefit of the planet, humanity, and for the animals.

  15. "Multiple injuries in #Montreal after group altercation at #ConcordiaUniversity over #Israel #Hamas war" | CBC News

    there's absolutely no justification for violence towards people who want hostages freed regardless of their race, religion, or creed #antisemitism

    even if they did support the war their origin is irrelevant

  17. Kudos to the #OpenScience Working Group at #ConcordiaUniversity for its strong recommendations, including a #RightsRetention #OpenAccess policy.

    At p. 5: "Concordia should…further the development of copyright support through an institutionally supported rights retention strategy, which can support green open access and diversify how research can be made openly accessible."
