I’m fortunate to be spending the weekend with a very experienced human rights lawyer who outlined how vaccine requirements in schools and other institutions do not infringe on human rights but actually enable those who are vulnerable to participate fully/be included.

Excited to have played a role in this publication, promising early results demonstrated a robust immune response to this VSV based vaccine.Research@Queen's University

I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to trigger a switch when they find a victim & come back for a tasty treat 🐀 #herosnotpests #science #weirdjobs #WomenInSTEM

Canada has among the highest rates of MS in the world. The @MSSocietyCanada does amazing work helping people living with MS, as well as their caregivers. They also fund much of the research looking for a cure. I know where I’ll be eating next Thursday!
