Is it more difficult to be a young researcher today? Two main points can be mentioned. The first is the difficulties young researchers and teams face in obtaining funding, to be paid at the end of the month. The Minister of Research asked me one day why young people were less attracted to research. “Is it because the general public no longer trusts science? He asked me. I replied that I feel no general distrust of scientists at all. Perhaps things have changed recently, but at the time I did not feel that way. Simply put, research is an obstacle…

(Ottawa) Ottawa faces calls to act on the growing number of privacy violations involving members of the armed forces who have been victims of sexual misconduct while in uniform.

The company’s management explains in its most recent management report that most of the reductions will come…

Are they really more dangerous than ‘normal’ mosquitoes? ? asks O’Rour. This Anderlecht (Brussels) resident contacted us via the orange “Alert Us” button after squashing what she believed to be a tiger mosquito in her apartment. She writes: “I know I had to report the presence of tiger mosquitoes when I was in the south of France, but I don’t know where I can do the same here and even if they should be reported.” A few days ago, the Sciensano Public Health Institute rightly called on Belgian citizens to monitor their presence and notify them of their presence on…

The accelerating inflation hitting North America increases the risks of a recession here. • Read also: Interest Rates: Towards a Big Rise in Canada? • Read also: Quebec limits school tax hikes While the US central bank raised key interest rates by three-quarters of a point (the largest increase since 1994) in order to combat inflation, its Canadian counterpart could follow suit. What this shows is that we’re hitting the brakes, and the economy is overheating. “If we raise interest rates too quickly, the economy will react,” said Robert Aslin, vice president of public policy at the Canadian Business Council.…

FLRT receptors act as ‘context identifiers’ that control the formation of different signaling complexes to regulate brain development. So far, research has focused on the extracellular domain of these receptors, which allows communication between two cells. Thanks to an international collaboration involving French and British researchers, scientists have demonstrated a new type of FLRT2 receptor interaction. By combining molecular dynamics simulations with single-molecule fluorescence microscopy experiments, it was possible to quantify this interaction at the surface of the same cell. This interaction includes both the transmembrane domain of this receptor as well as the extracellular domain. This work adds an…

(Quebec) The announcement of “geoLAGON,” a vast subdivision of 600 condominiums around a massive heated swimming pool, has made waves in Charlevoix and worries many elected officials.

– Photoroyalty / Shutterstock.com Nerve damage can lead to pain that lasts for years or even a lifetime. Researchers recently showed that exposing damaged nerves to a cold needle causes them to regenerate, thereby significantly reducing pain. cold nerve degeneration It can be performed by an interventional radiologist, and the procedure is known as cold decomposition It involves freezing a hypodermic needle, inserting it under the patient’s skin, then using a CT scan technique to guide it to the damaged nerve. Upon contact, the nerve first degenerates and loses function, but then regenerates into a new, healthy nerve.Read also Sleeping…
