As global dementia rates are projected to increase by 2050 due to a growing aging population, what can we learn from Finland’s approach to preventing cognitive impairment? In partnership with @globeandmail and reported by students at the @GR_Program. bit.ly/3FPD2XG
The ongoing discourse about the championing of LGBTQ+ rights in Qatar during #WorldcupQatar2022 is fascinating to see as a journalism student. (1/?) theguardian.com/football/202…
The story spans sports, social issues and international politics, and it’s placement as part of one of the world’s largest sporting events means it draws more attention than a typical international story might. (2/?)

So lovely to have @amtremonti join our @GR_Program class last week. Her insights and advice were invaluable! Especially as fellows prepare for their upcoming reporting trip.
Graduate students at #UBC #JWAM had the honour and pleasure of welcoming @amtremonti in their classrooms last week. As an Asper Visiting Professor, Anna will inspire and motivate future #journalists with her anecdotal wisdom.
