‘The future of science in Canada is at risk’: Researchers call for pay raiseOTTAWA — In a University of Ottawa lab, Sarah Laframboise is hoping to advance cancer research by studying a gene that causes the disease in humans. She's not alone — funding has become a central issue for the on-campus group she leads, called the Ottawa Science Policy Network. "I'm worried, because never before have graduate students and post-doctoral researchers been so financially stretched that their future careers are at risk. And this means the future of science in Canada is at risk." "I don't have aspirations to stay in academia, but if I did, it would not be in Canada."
