@uhntrainees @TracyLackraj_ @Amandality @Reza___F @SofijaSpas @UHN_Research Thank you to @uhntrainees for support and help.

A big thank you to Tracy Lackraj @TracyLackraj_, Amanda Ali @Amandality), Razieh Rabani, Arvind Singh Mer, Reza Faieghi @Reza___F, Sina Mehdizadeh, Anusha Ratneswaran and Sofija Spasojevic @SofijaSpas who organized #postdocappreciationweek for @UHN_Research. 2/3

#postdocappreciationweek wrapped up at @UHN with a social event for #postdocs. The @UHN_Research EVP @bradwouters came by to chat and thank all the amazing postdocs who make @UHN one of the best research institutes in #canada and the world! 1/3

It's sobering that in 2019, some people try to interpret protein-mRNA correlations without taking into account the reliability of the measurements. The first hypothesis to consider should be that poor correlations are due to poor measurements.

Today, we released the Canadian #CancerStats 2019 report. It shows survival for blood cancers has increased more than any other cancer in 20 years! Cancer survival overall has ⬆️ from 55% to 63% – up 8 percentage points compared to 16-19 for blood cancers. Find out more.
