Dr. David Wishart, @ualberta.bsky.social superstar, just won the Herzberg Medal as Canada's top scientist. Debby Waldman is an award-winning children's author & journalist. When the Metis trapper's son met the rabbi's daughter? Chemistry! #AlbertaUnbound #yeg #Edmonton #metabolomics #NSERC #ualberta

Today, Dr. David Wishart, a professor of biology AND computer science at University of Alberta won Canada’s highest honour for science & engineering, the Herzberg Gold Medal, for his work in metabolomics. I had the joy of being there with Dr. Wishart and his family. #yeg #UAlberta #Edmonton #NSERC

Well, it's official. My #NSERC Discovery Grant has been submitted! 🤞

"Application received by Agency"

@dalhousieu.bsky.social

#NSERC Discovery grant application: submitted ✅

#NSERC #RTI application submitted. First time leading one of these. Fingers firmly crossed.

Guidance on the use of generative AI in the evaluation of grant applications In the evaluation of grant applications, reviewers should be aware that uploading application information into any online tool could result in breaches of privacy and in the loss of custody of intellectual property. Examples include transmission of application text to online tools such as ChatGPT and DeepL, which may store and reuse the data for future enhancement of the tool. This would place a reviewer in breach of the Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality Agreement for Review Committee Members, External Reviewers and Observers. Therefore, use of publicly available online tools for evaluating grant applications is strictly prohibited.

Interesting guidance from the Tri-Council Agencies in Canada about AI use in evaluating grant proposals. I presume this applies also to tools like #turnitin. @sshrc-crsh.canada.ca #nserc #cihr @linkletter.org

The work was made possible with financial support from a Major Science Infrastructure award (@innovation.ca) and the Government of Canada’s New Frontiers in Research Fund #NFRF (Canadian Institutes of Health Research #CIHR_IRSC, #NSERC, @sshrc-crsh.canada.ca).

The current administration in the US has, through various funding agencies such as the NSF and NIH, has recently suspended virtually all federal grants to my home university, UCLA (including my own personal grant, although that is far from the most serious impact of this decision), on the grounds that UCLA was “failing to promote a research environment free of antisemitism and bias”. One can certainly debate whether these grounds were justified, or whether they merit the extremely draconian damage to the very research environment that this decision is claiming to protect, but if nothing else this unprecedented decision does not appear to have followed the usual standards of due process for actions of this nature; for instance, there appears to have been no good faith effort by the administration to receive a response from UCLA to its allegations before implementing its decision. The suspension of my personal grant has a non-trivial impact on myself (in particular, my summer salary, which I had already deferred in order to allow the previously released NSF funds to support several of my graduate students over this period, is now in limbo), and now gives me almost no resources to support my graduate students going forward; but this is only a fraction of a percentage of the entire amount being suspended. A far greater concern is the impact on the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) https://www.ipam.ucla.edu/, which despite receiving preliminary approval earlier this year for a new five-year round of funding (albeit at significantly reduced levels) from the NSF, now only has enough emergency funding for a few months of further operation at best if the suspension is not lifted.

Someone at #UBC, #Waterloo, #UofT or #McGill with #NSERC backing must make a serious offer to #TerrenceTao and his entire research group. This is an opportunity for Canada.
