Great to discuss the importance of sustained funding for research including neuroscience with MP Shannon Miedema
Part of @can-acn.bsky.social Hill day with @labfranklin.bsky.social, Derek Bowie & Jarrad Perron
1000 faculty members have been locked out of @dalhousieu.bsky.social since Aug 18. That means 90% of classes WILL NOT start next week. The Board of Governors needs to come back to the table and stop playing with the future of our students.

Chalk instead of the standard picket lines today. Here were some of our messages. #KeepDalStrong @dalfaculty.bsky.social
Faculty locked out Aug 20. We have heard nothing from @dalhousieu.bsky.social - we WANT to BARGAIN, our members WANT to WORK! Where is the Board? Students start move in Aug 28. Time for the Board to take this seriously and work with us #KeepDalStrong
Here’s where we stand:
My union moved on salary and was willing to talk: Dal mgmnt was not interested
My union offered to find ways to save money: Mgmnt said no.
My union wanted to work together to build new child care: Mgmnt didn’t care.
Let’s #KeepDalStrong, we said. No, they replied.
As the Canadian Association for Neuroscience meeting approaches, we are still offering subsidies for Childcare, Dependent, or Disability Care.
