Social media has become an important tool in a scientist’s arsenal. It is a place to brainstorm and share ideas, make complex research accessible to the public, and carve out a niche as an expert in their respective fields. But, in a sea of misinformation and a crowded social media landscape, how can scientists leverage social media to achieve their goals?

Join us during Science Literacy Week on September 28 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST for: Let’s Get Social: Leveraging Social Media for Science.

TED talk-style presentations will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by internationally acclaimed American educator and molecular biologist Dr. Raven Baxter. This workshop will explore concrete ideas to combat misinformation, further a research career, educate and inform the public about issues you are passionate about, and more.

Due to COVID-19, NSERC is replacing live webinars with pre-recorded videos followed by live Q&A sessions. This series is meant to assist the research community on how to complete an application using the Research Portal and the NSERC Canadian Common CV (CCV). You will find below the pre-recorded videos as well as the dates for these upcoming live Q&A sessions.

We ask that you please view the pre-recorded videos prior to attending a live Q&A session, as the material presented in the videos will not be repeated.

In preparation, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the following documents:

• Memo to Potential Applicants – Notification of Intent to Apply for a Discovery Grant – 2023 Competition
• Instructions for Completing the Notification of Intent to Apply for a Discovery Grant
• Canadian Common CV – How to Complete NSERC’s Version

We would greatly appreciate if you could extend this invitation to potential applicants from your university who would be interested in attending these webinars.

Pre-registration is not required to attend the live Q&A sessions. The session will be open 15 minutes in advance for you to review existing questions and submit your questions in advance.

Considering the high attendance to our webinars, NSERC staff may not have time to respond to all individual questions during the sessions. Any additional questions should be directed to our support team at NSERC Discovery.
