U.S. science funding uncertainty reshapes grad school choices for Canadians

Social Sharing After graduating with a bachelor degree in mathematics from the University of Waterloo, Kareem Alfarra had hopes of continuing his studies in the United States. The American schools he looked at were better funded and had more opportunities than those in Canada, he said, and he'd already connected with some professors he'd like to work with. Alfarra, 22, applied to nine American universities, hoping for options, but he ended up being waitlisted and rejected for all of them. Most of them told him informally that budget uncertainties in the U.S. were making it difficult for them to accept graduate students, he said. He says one school even told him that in any normal year, he would have been accepted. "I was on top of the wait list … and I would have loved to go," he told CBC. Rather than waiting to hear, Alfarra decided to accept an offer at the University of Toronto, citing the funding uncertainty and political instability of the U.S. "I was very angry with the situation knowing that perhaps a year earlier or a few years later I would've gotten in." While that's just one student's story, universities on both sides of the border say that uncertainty brought on by the Trump administration is reducing options and upending research opportunities for graduate students — including Canadians. 'Closing off career pathways' More than 10,000 Canadians went to graduate school in the U.S. last year, according to data from the Institute for International Education, with 40 per cent pursuing science and health degrees. But there are two key federal sources that U.S. universities rely on to fund their labs and take in graduate students — the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) — that have been frozen or cut by the Trump administration. It's been a back and forth battle, with cases before the courts, and it's unclear where things will land. But the uncertainty is enough for some universities to reduce their admissions, inevitably trickling down to Canadian applicants. WATCH | How Trump's freeze on health research funding might hurt Canadian science: Canadian scientists worry after Trump pauses federal health spending 5 months ago Duration 2:01 In a statement to the CBC, the American Association of Universities described the stakes. "Federal research funding cuts are actively closing off career pathways for all prospective doctoral students from across the world, including those from the United States and Canada," said Emily Miller, vice president for research and institutional policy at the association. "Universities make a significant financial commitment when they offer admission to an aspiring scientist or researcher — a commitment that is critical to student success and one they cannot meet without federal research support." A 'turbulent' landscape For 23 year old Canadian Jaeden Bardati, research funding was a big component in his decision to pursue his PhD in astrophysics at Caltech in Pasadena, Calif., two years ago. "Which is kind of ironic now," he said. on research and development in 2022; in the U.S., that figure was nearly 3.6 per cent in the same year. Bardati would ultimately like to be where the top researchers in his field are, which historically had been the U.S., he says, but that may change. Budget uncertainty makes some researchers worried whether they can maintain their labs or pay the students that work in them. Bardati says some of his classmates have been encouraged to graduate early or to fund themselves to be able to stay. "The landscape is very turbulent … the word that's been used around here is turbulent," said Bardati, which makes it difficult for students and researchers to plan for the future. "They're essentially trying to find a new home at the moment. And they're thinking, 'should I go to Europe or should I go to Canada?'" U.S. students applying north Katie Marshall, associate professor in comparative physiology at the University in British Columbia, is already starting to see the effects of this shift. She's received five applications from U.S. students to come work in her lab. "Usually, I wouldn't start seeing these kinds of applications until the fall," she said. "It's definitely unusual." Marshall also noted that the funding cuts in the U.S. are affecting research in Canada, because cross-border collaboration means Canadian researchers have gotten funding from U.S. agencies. "With less money, there's just fewer spots [for graduate students]." "When I look at who I'm going to accept, I'm looking at their research experience, " said Marshall. "If I've got a great American student, it's really hard for me to say no." While Canada can't fill the gap left by the US, it is a good time to invest in Canadian research to create more opportunities, said Marshall, noting that there has been some recent increases already.

‘A sensitive topic,' How to handle fence feuds or other neighbour conflicts

This downed white picket fence is shown along North Broadway near Waterloo Road, after winds from a tornado knocked down power lines, damaged homes and businesses Tuesday afternoon, Feb.10, 2009, in Edmond, Okla. (AP Photo/Bill Waugh) Neighbourly disputes over fence feuds are both common and complicated, but one expert says that the polite approach is almost always the best one. 'It's a sensitive topic, from the beginning,' said Christina Vechsler, a corporate, commercial and real estate lawyer, in an interview with 'You see a very wide range of issues.' Who owns a fence if it's right on the property line? How can you be sure if someone builds on your side? What happens if you decide to share costs, then your neighbour moves away? We asked readers to share their stories of next-door nightmares and turned to the experts on what options are available to help. Here's what to know about keeping the peace on the homefront: Fence feuds A common theme among the responses we received: When it comes to fences, it can be hard not to take offence. One reader said he complained to his neighbour after carpenters trampled some of his plants while building a fence between their Toronto homes, only to see that neighbour later extend the fence tall enough to block sunlight to his garden. Another told us that decades ago, she and her husband sold their Saskatoon home and moved away from a problem-neighbour situation after 10 years, but not before a disagreement over paint colours ended with two parallel fences running along either side of the property line. In Edmonton, a reader said her neighbour built a fence so close to her house that it became 'almost impossible' to reach her backyard from that end of the property. And one email from Surrey, B.C., told the story of a neighbour boarding up a pathway between two houses, even though basement tenants used it regularly to access their apartments. Some cases went beyond a one-on-one dispute: One Toronto reader said her stepmother and her neighbours lost access to their parking spots when a new arrival on the block built a wall across the shared lane connecting their driveways to the road. She said the ordeal ended up leading to a years-long legal dispute. So, if you're stuck in a boundary battle, what can you do? Laws can vary significantly by province and municipality, but wherever you are, it helps to do your homework. Respecting boundaries If you're concerned about a neighbour's fence, Vechsler told CTV News the first step should be to make sure you've got all the information. Reviewing the documents you received when you purchased the home, what's held publicly on the title or even ordering a fresh survey of the land by a provincially licensed surveyor can help reveal whether something's imposed on your property. Equipped with that information, it may just take an earnest exchange of words to solve the problem. 'The first thing I always suggest is to go and speak to your neighbour, where feasible, to the extent that you can have those open and honest conversations,' Vechsler told 'Act in good faith, and be transparent about what it is that you're seeking to achieve.' An informal agreement, or better yet, a written agreement, is the goal, she said. Throughout the process, it's also important to document your interactions on the issue, either by communicating over email, or keeping your own notes. Some municipalities, like Toronto, offer referrals to community mediation services for property conflicts. However, those local governments, also like Toronto, may refuse to play a direct role in 'resolving disputes about the location or costs of boundary fences between properties.' A formal letter to your neighbour with all the relevant information may resolve the issue, but other options include filing in small-claims court, or submitting a bylaw complaint with your municipality, where applicable. Experts note that taking matters into your own hands, such as by ripping up a fence you don't want there, can make things worse. 'You need to be careful about where the line is … that's absolute,' said Vechsler. 'You need to be careful about what's shared down the middle.' As confident as you may be that the fence is on your property, you may be mistaken. Even if it's sitting directly on the lot line, touching or damaging objects like fences or trees may cause more problems. 'Absolutely, there can be potential actions and trespass. There can be potential claims for any damages,' she said. Vechsler told CTV News that simply talking things out in a respectful manner is often the best solution, in part because it helps maintain the broader relationship with your neighbour. Even something as small as keeping everyone informed about repairs or changes to the fence can go a long way. 'It seems like an easy step to take, but it can make all the difference,' she said.
