As our friends and colleagues brave the font lines, we must also get ready for a series of aftershocks. It's very hard to plan this far ahead while we're in survival mode. We must prepare early and strategize our response to the collateral damage of #COVID19

Today, we welcomed MP @Rob_Oliphant & Dr. @Marisa_Creatore from @CIHR_IRSC to announce a $6.35M investment from the Government of Canada to support research on #mpox & other zoonotic viruses. Congratulations to Sunnybrook scientists Drs. Mubareka & Kozak & all the research teams.

Today, the #GoC announced $6.35M in funding to aid the Canadian and global fight against #mpox and zoonotic diseases, which can pose a health risk to Canadians. This investment makes Canada a research leader in zoonotic diseases.


Today, the #GoC announced a $20M investment to support @LongCOVIDWebCA, a pan-Canadian network led by @AngelaMCheung @UHN designed to better understand, diagnose, and treat #PostCovidCondition (PCC). canada.ca/en/public-heal…
