#IAmAPostdoc and #Budget2023 casts a gloomy future over Canadian academia Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience #ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs

#ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs – #Budget2023 means that there is no incentive for Canadian undergraduate students to undertake graduate studies. Support Our Science François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 SSHRC CIHR NSERC / CRSNG Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

#ISupportGradStudents - #Budget2023 fails the next generation of 🇨🇦 Scientists by keeping NSERC scholarship $ unchanged (since 2003!) + by letting Discovery Grant funding (which is used by supervisors to pay most grad students $) stagnate!

#Budget2023 unfortunately means that graduate students will continue to live below the poverty line in Canada! 🇨🇦 Sad. 🤦🏼‍♂️😢 Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience Support Our Science François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 CIHR NSERC / CRSNG #ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs Institut national de la recherche scientifique

Disappointed with #Budget2023 #ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

#ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs – #Budget2023 means that my graduate students are making the same I did in 2003, which isn't fair, isn't right, and I will fight for them! #IncreaseScholarshipsandGrantsNow ! Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

Increased cost of living, no increase in grad student funding (in almost *20* years), and no new investment in NSERC Discovery funding #Budget2023 leaves Canadian science lagging behind. #ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

#Budget2023 means that grad. students cannot do research without worrying how to pay their bills and rent Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience @SupportOurSci François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 SSHRC CIHR ⁦NSERC / CRSNG⁩ #ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs

Disappointing news from the federal government #Budget2023 - zero new funding for HQP, highly qualified personnel, including graduate students, postdocs, and senior undergraduates.

#ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs – #Budget2023 means that I cannot train as many students/postdocs so that I can support those I have already accepted with a living wage Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

#Budget2023 does not invest in the future of science in Canada. Poverty wages exclude many from contributing their brilliance to scientific discovery. This is a huge loss. #ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

#ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs — #Budget2023 means that I & my students will have less (or no!) money to conduct fundamental research. Where else does theory work get funding if not NSERC? Anybody remember the Naylor report? Chrystia Freeland Justin Trudeau #SupportOurScience

#Budget2023 leaves Canadian postdocs and graduate students behind with unfair wages and subpar working conditions Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau

#ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs – #Budget2023 = less scientific progress and it will have short and long term consequences. Students are making important contributions to science and innovation, yet they cannot make ends meet. Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

#ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs – #Budget2023 means that research trainees will continue to desist academic research in favour of careers in industry Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

#Budget2023 means that people training to be Clinical Psychologists & increase access to #MentalHealth care in Canada can't afford to go to school and support themselves

#Budget2023 fails to increase investments in research talent—a shortfall that will lead to a loss of talent, perpetuate inequities for underrepresented groups, and hinder improvements to care.

Great thread 👇🏻

Also, for clinical psychology grad students, PhD training caps off with a 1 year residency they often have to relocate for and that pays about $30,000.

How are we supposed to train the next generation of psychologists like this? #ISupportGradStudents

#ISupportGradStudents - #Budget2023 means that Canadian graduate students will be more in debt than ever before. Let's compare a student from 2012-13 academic year, to 2022-23:
