Saw a patient recently without housing who was in and out of hospital. But how could we keep calling them “hard to reach” or “lost to follow-up” when they didn’t have a cell phone? Peer workers in the Stabilization Centre/ER set up a phone for him and the next morning I got a

A big moment for me: I started as an u/g then grad student in Immunology University of Toronto. After 20 years of running my lab Temerty Medicine, alongside my friends and colleagues I am now excited to lead the Dept as Chair. Thank you all my mentors, family and friends for support along the way.

"One more thing," the patient says, right when I'm about to exit the exam room. I used to be annoyed by it. Until one day, a patient's "one more thing" was actually "the" thing she wanted to say. But she needed to feel me out and make sure I was a safe person first. So, I sat

To reporters covering the #MauiFire: Please stop characterizing Front Street and Lahaina Town as a “tourist spot” It was the original Capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom. King Kamehameha’s palace is here. Kānaka Maoli still live here, on their ancestral land from the 1800s.

Nobody wants to hear about how u vacationed to Maui and how ur family is so thankful to experience Lāhainā before the fires. Local families and biz have lost everything. Families can’t even find each other. Use your rich vacation money and donate.

Breaking my hiatus to ask folks to donate to Hawaiʻi People’s Fund’s response fund to help folks who’ve been affected by the fires on Maui 🖤 All y’all who’ve traveled here despite explicit community asks not to, here’s your chance to help make up: hawaiipeoplesfund.networkforgood.com/projects/20056…

So incredibly lucky to have spent the last four years with Dr. Jen Gommerman researching the role of B cells in the meninges and periphery during CNS disease! So much love for my lab, friends, family and mentors that got me here and to my committee and examiners for their support

How sweet is this lab tradition where recent grads are gifted a paddle from Dr. Jen Gommerman? The inscriptions are always a pun and mine was very fitting. Such an honour to have my own and hopefully get to use it at a future lab camping trip!
