Glad to work with @adriaquigley @DocMarkBayley @canstroke to advance research in understanding why women have been underrepresented in stroke trials and what we can do about it
Women have traditionally been underrepresented in stroke RCTs, accounting for only 38.8% of participants. Two ongoing trials at CanStroke are looking to change that. @DocMarkBayley @adriaquigley @MacstrokeCan

In November, MIRA gathered scholars from around the world to develop a consensus on standards for wearable tech in aging research.
The event marks a significant global collaboration to enhance older adults' quality of life through innovative technology.

Dale is one of the most generous researchers out there! This is a most deserving honour! Our field knows so much more about stroke recovery & rehabilitation because of Dale and his science 🧠 #legend
A group of pretty amazing change makers in one photo! 🌟
The Nieboer lectureship recognizes community members with lived experience for their significant contributions and impact on the lives of others on the stroke recovery journey
Our previous three Nieboer Lecture winners together at the #StrokeCongress @HeartandStroke @CNSFNeuroLinks @CSC_Stroke
So thrilled to work with @amyyu_md to create StrokeGoRed, the first national network of research excellence focused on #stroke in #women ♥️ More to come!
Learning about @amyyu_md's new project Stroke in Women: Growing Opportunities to Realize optimal Evaluation, Diagnosis, and outcomes (StrokeGoRed) #StrokeCongress @BrainCanada @HeartandStroke @CIHR_IRSC
Honoured to be part of this amazing panel at #StrokeCongres to talk about #stroke in #women and how we are examining ways to boost representation in #clinicaltrials
@adriaquigley
Thanks @HeartandStroke for supporting the ORDER study
Front row seats for Dr Ada Tang's presentation on ORDER, a study aimed to improve the representation of clinical trial populations. @MacstrokeCan
Terrific work by @ksnoguchi who used data from @clsa_elcv to study how much people with #stroke engage in #aerobic and #strengthening activities
