We are very proud and happy to announce that we have received a new grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. With this new grant, the lab is now funded for the first time simultaneously by the three federal research funding agencies, which encourage and support research, research training, knowledge transfer and innovation in Canada:
Our laboratory has just published a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis related to this question in the journal Current Research in Neurobiology. This study was part of Elisabeth’s master’s project and was carried out under the supervision and with the help of Pascale, director of the lab.
That's the question we asked our team this week. Their answers vary, but highlight one common trend: everyone is driven by the desire to contribute to the advancement of knowledge! 📖
