At #SRSR committee, Minister @evansolomon.bsky.social said AI "...[helped] us summarize and work with the 11,000 submissions. That could’ve taken between 8 and 9 months but we did it in about 8 days. That’s the kind of savings and efficiencies people would like to see" re: government use of AI 👏
Watching Minister @evansolomon.bsky.social at #SRSR say, re: the AI Strategy Taskforce: “We have now published the reports of our 28 task force members.”
Has anyone seen where these are all posted? I can’t find them.
Here's the submission from @msf.ca to this #SRSR Committee study, emphasizing that public investment in health R&D should prioritize generating benefits to the public's health over subsidizing private wealth.

Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science & Research #SRSR study on "private sector investment in R&D in Canada" actually focuses on commercializing university R&D.
Need balance:
👍Nurturing Canadian innovation to fruition
👎Canadians paying twice, for pricey privatized fruits of publicly-funded R&D

Tilbageslag for reproduktive rettigheder i Rumænien!
Ifl. ny rapport fra @hrw.org truer nye politiske tiltag adgang til essentiel sundhedspleje i Rumænien og risikerer at rulle fremskridt tilbage.
Vigtigt fortsat at slå ring om #SRSR rettigheder, der undermineres - både i #EU og globalt.
Unge og #SRSR skal være kernen i Danmarks udviklingspolitik. Seksualundervisning og ligestilling er afgørende for unges uddannelse, jobmuligheder og demokratisk deltagelse – og en nøgle til bæredygtig udvikling i Afrika. #udviklingspolitik #ligestilling

Til alle os, der arbejder for piger og kvinders rettigheder:. Vi må løfte vores stemmer, støtte de organisationer, der kæmper på frontlinjerne, og insistere på, at kvinders rettigheder ikke er til forhandling.
Verden kan ikke tåle andet. #SRSR @sexogsamfund.bsky.social

De nordiske lande har i mange år placeret sig som forkæmpere for #SRSR, LGBT+ rettigheder og kønsligestilling. 🙏 til @mim.dk og @heunicke.bsky.social og for fortsat at holde fast i denne førerposition. helt afgørende i denne tid.
@sexogsamfund.bsky.social er selvfølgelig klar til at understøtte💪
På #WolrdChildrensDay sætter vi fokus på, at alle børn har ret til at være børn! Graviditet/fødsel er den største dødsårsag blandt teenagepiger syd for Sahara💔
Vi og vores partnere i Uganda arbejder forebyggende mod teenagegraviditeter i landet, så flere kan få en tryg barndom. #dkaid #SRSR
May 5 2022: I spoke to the #SRSR. I said that investing in graduate students and postdoctoral scholars means investing in Canada.
Today #Budget2024 invested in these researchers, and in doing so has invested in Canada.
THANK YOU to everyone who worked towards this! @supportourscience.bsky.social
