Here's to the journey, not the destination. Where the only reason we're going to make it through is because that is the only way through. And perhaps the best way through is with each other. ❤️ ✨New Specific Expertise blog post: bit.ly/specificexpertise11

Thank you to @UBCPostdoc for inviting me as the keynote speaker for the 3 minute slam competition! 🙌 Last fall, I had the privilege of speaking to an amazing group of postdocs @UBC . Researchers are driving real world impact to help others. That is a message worth sharing🙂
