My parents did an amazing job fostering a love of curiosity and science - Something I still deeply value and love and want for my kids to this day.

📸 science fair c Gr 4. Told my parents I wanted to study the staining effect of pop on teeth. They helped me shake down local dentists until I got 4 🦷

The first time I clinically saw measles in my career was in 2018 while working for MSF. I never could have imagined we’d find ourself seeing uncontrolled measles transmission and losing our elimination status in 🇨🇦.

We need strong leadership to address emerging and reemerging public health issues.

I love this for GRADE, a research community I’m proud and honoured to be a member of. Pilot AI chatbot was inaccurate and outdated so reverting to traditional search and natural intelligence.

Camping this past weekend I saw lots of blue jays and a total of 0 mariners.
I’m taking that as a good omen.

It was so great to meet with provincial legislators today as part of the OMA Queens Park day and talk about the importance of public health to protect all our health and as an investment to save $$$ downstream in the healthcare system.

When I nestle down with a study, with a nice cup of coffee, the first thing I want to know is about the authors and their interests.
Here is the declaration from the senior author, also Dean of Harvard's T.H. Chan School.
My right eyebrow raises further.

I’ve been thinking a lot of this quote by the Cellist and UN Peace Medal recipient. Not a world there for, safe for, but worthy of our children.
