A wonderful event to connect with familiar friends (colleagues and partners) and meet new ones. RECAP is all about creating ways for #LdnOnt and beyond to partner with @westernu.bsky.social researchers to solve problems, innovate and create #impact!
A sign that reads “partner with us - Western” and has a QR code is on the left. A sign that reads “Research Engagement Collaborative Alliance with Partners (RECAP)” is in the middle. A laptop showing a video of two people sitting opposite one another talking is on the right. There are some papers on the table. All materials are related to RECAP.

As far as I can tell, there has been no resistance to any of these changes inside any agency. They only win if you don’t fight back. One way we can fight is by doing more than ever to recruit, support, train, and promote our URM students and colleagues. They want us to abandon each other. Don’t.
