Took a long break from this platform but I am back to share some recent work! Interested in how Generative AI 🤖can be used as a teaching and learning tool🎓 in higher education? Check out our roundtable discussion for the TA Table podcast on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4zeJOE…

🌍This #EarthDay let’s talk about inhalers & their environmental impact. Check out lungtoolkit.com/eco to view conversation aids that compare inhaler carbon footprints, reflect patient priorities & support climate-conscious prescribing: 🌱 #PlanetaryHealth #Asthma #COPD

If you attended #CRC2026 you got a sneak peak of our recent project. Something exciting coming your way tomorrow for #EarthDay!

Feeling honoured to have had my work recognized twice at #CRC2026 🌎🫁

Check out my latest article in Healthcare Quarterly discussing the implications of my thesis work 🫁 Can we leverage technology to simultaneously screen for COPD & lung cancer? 🤔

As of yesterday, I officially have a PhD🥹

Welcome to Dunn House — a prescription for change that has been years in the making. Housing is health. And this is the power of partnership. 51 UHN patients with no fixed address comprised over 4,000 emergency department visits in the past year. This is driven by the pathologies of poverty. For the 51 individuals moving in, this is more than housing—it's good health care. With primary care, Indigenous-led support, harm reduction and addiction treatment services, we’re redefining compassionate care for people experiencing homelessness. The work isn't done until tenants are settled in—and won’t feel real until I’m seeing patients in the clinic room right onsite. While a month in hospital costs over $30,000, supportive housing costs just $4,000, promoting human dignity and sound health economics. Grateful to our entire team, all partners and the advocacy of the Parkdale community for making this possible. This is just the beginning of showing the world that housing is healthcare.

I am so grateful to have done my PhD in a department that supports such incredible student initiatives. Check out the latest issue of @IMSMagazine to learn more about all of the student groups & the inner workings of the magazine as well!

@timalamenciak Thank you Dr. Alamenciak!! Big year for us 🙌🙌

@StaceyJButler Congratulations Dr. Butler!!!!!!

I am thrilled to share that I successfully defended my PhD thesis last week 🙌 It was a long & winding road but I am grateful for the support & the memories. Here is 5 years of hard work summarized in one slide 🫶

Check out our meta-analysis on the effect of exercise on balance in COPD err.ersjournals.com/content/33/172… We also have a cool cartoon produced by Rachel Thomas and Breathe Easy Darlington @TeessideUni illustrating the findings (first 4 pages shown below). @NIHRresearch

Only a couple of months left to take part in this unique extreme weather study! Please repost & click below for more info &📽️. 🙏@canlung @THE_CPFF @COPDCanada @CFCanToronto @LungHealthFdn @CTS_SCT

Could you explain vaccine science to a 6-year-old? These students can! Aliens, wizards, ninjas & a bunny named Muffin are just some of the characters they introduced in their winning pitches of "Explain It Like I’m 6: A Vaccine Education Contest." bit.ly/4a13UQ2

It's here! The Spring 2024 issue of IMS Magazine is now available! Dive into the latest in surgical advancements, pioneering research, and community achievements that are setting new standards in healthcare. Read now: imsmagazine.com

IMS PhD Candidate @StaceyJButler didn’t have to look far for inspiration for her winning submission on how vaccines train our immune system to counter viruses. “I have a 6-year-old nephew. His name is Austin, and he loves superheroes and video games.” epic.utoronto.ca/contest-winner…

A few weeks after watching the video. Austin got sick and told my mom "I need to sleep so that the army in my body can fight off the virus, just like in Stacey's video". Knowing that a short video can have a lasting impact is so special & highlights the importance of SciComm!

I am so honoured that my submission was chosen as the winner for the ‘Explain it like I’m 6’ vaccine education contest. Big thanks to my 6-yr old nephew Aus for the inspiration (and critique 😆) Congrats to the other winners & honourable mentions! 👏👏

Thank you @UofTIMS for the opportunity to share my research!
