“I’ll try to finish when I’m healthy again. But it doesn’t really matter right now that I haven’t finished it. The people have carried it on so well.”

Today my year 5 son’s class is going to a 2ndary school taster day. Activities split by sex- boys get chemistry lab & basketball, while girls get dancing & geography. Shocking gender stereotypes. Apparently girls are furious to miss science. Why not let choose, or all get same?

Recently turned 40, and I had a conversation with my physician about getting a screening mammogram for many reasons, mostly data-related.
Decided to make an educational post on this!

Researchers work to save lives, improve healthcare, address the climate crisis and build a better future for Canadians.
A future driven by knowledge, forged by curiosity and a quest for understanding.
It’s time to invest in researchers, postdocs and grad students.
