It’s so disappointing to see misinformation regarding protests being spread especially from a well respected scientists that’s been invited to my institution. As scientists in a post COVID world, we know better than to spread false information and narratives.

It will always amaze me how @uOttawa will find ways to charge their student associations with different fees just to use open spaces on our campuses…..I know times are tough but why charge the student associations that already don’t have much financially

My list of reasons to never recommend @uOttawa continues to grow. This institution makes it okay for professors to say the n word in class but a resident can’t use their personal accounts to promote ceasefires. This institution has fallen too far!
I am disturbed & appalled at the suspension of Dr. @yipengGe from @uOttawaPHPM. He is amongst numerous healthcare workers being targeted for speaking against the violence in Palestine. Please sign and share widely. He does not deserve this. -- chng.it/6RH9tC7dqD
What a disgusting and shameful move by @OntarioNDP and @MaritStiles. I stand by @SarahJama_ as she was the part of the select few that called for a ceasefire immediately. She showed lives matter from the start unlike every other Canadian politician calling for aggression #onpoli

My parents and so many other Ethiopians have fought to have democratically elected leaders in their home land; to have accurate representation in their government. They came to Canada and instilled in me voting is a must in any election. I don’t believe that to be true anymore!
can never see myself voting again. i never trusted politicians or cared for them tbh i guess i was a “lesser of two evils” type. but this is where the “lesser” of two evils have gotten us

This week has re-emphasized the same point: brown and black lives just don’t matter in this world. There will always be a hierarchy and narrative to push this view.
So many amazing talks and posters at #OCBS2023 Between my talk, winning an award and some nostalgia sightseeing this alumni is heading back with a full heart! Hopefully rubbing the Gryphons beak can bring me some luck in Ottawa too!

Let’s also take a moment to appreciate the awesome logo for this years symposium using the beautiful campus as a backdrop and Guelph’s iconic canon #OCBS2023

I had such a fun day talking about Arl8b and lysosomes! Thank you @CSMB2023 for the opportunity to do a Rapid Fire talk!
The only food source available at my campus is closed for the summer again! @BMIGSA did a survey last summer and presented the results to @uOttawa and @jillscott68 showing that employees and students wanted it open. 1/2
We are once again being ignored! How is it acceptable to have people only have access to vending machine sandwiches during the summer terms. @jillscott68 @uOttawa are your people at FacMed not important enough to you?
If you’re in science, aka a student, tech or professor, you should really be at this walk out!! This is EVERYONE’S fight, not just students.
4 DAYS LEFT! 🚨
Will you join us Monday to #SupportOurScience!
Awards for #GradStudents and #Postdocs have not increased in 20 YEARS, despite 50% inflation during this time!
It's time to change that. ⏲️
Find out more info about the walkouts here: supportourscience.ca/nationw…
This is great news for Mac students and a step in the right direction for them. @uOttawaMed how are we to stay competitive in recruitment if our stipends are much lower than other universities @BMIGSA @OttawaSciPolNet @uOttawa @CMMNSCGSA
To better assist our students with rises to the cost of living, the Mac Biochem Grad Program is increasing stipends for the 2023-2024 academic year to the following minimum amounts:
MSc: $29,098
PhD: $36,552
Interested in applying?
Check out our faculty profiles @BBS_McMasterU
Finally got to experience an @AirCanada flight cancellation after being at @terminalBLGA for 5hrs. This was not on the to do list while visiting NYC nor part of the budget since we have to cover the additional costs of staying an extra night #fun

When universities need money students are always on the chopping block but administration remains unaffected. According to the sunshine list @jillscott68 made about $301k in 2021 (1) #UOttawaAbolishTheQuotaSystem
For the sake of comparison, @jillscott68 monthly income is more than a PhD student yearly stipend. @uOttawa also has a policy that does not allow students to work more than 10hrs/week at other places (2) #UOttawaAbolishTheQuotaSystem
Still waiting to hear from @jillscott68 to discuss the quota system she implemented. @BMIGSA sent her a letter on June 6th and no meeting has been scheduled yet….. #UOttawaAbolishTheQuotaSystem

It’s unfortunate to see that rather than meeting with students @uOttawa administration has been asking specific students to remove their tweets that paint the university in a negative way #UOttawaAbolishTheQuotaSystem

Sharing a letter written to @jillscott68 @recteurUOpres by Dr.Shirley Qiu a @uOttawa class of ‘22 alumni 1/2 #uOttawaAbolishTheQuotaSystem
This pandemic proves the importance of scientific research. Grad students were part of these discoveries. Not properly funding their education has a direct impact to the scientific community and human health @uOttawa @recteurUOpres @jillscott68 #UOttawaAbolishTheQuotaSystem
