A short life, gone too soon. You were a great cop PSD Bingo! Run Free. RIP 🖤💙🖤

Hey, Ottawa. Between recent stories of hate-motivated incidents in Ottawa & Waterloo, and the news about today's US Supreme Court decision, it's safe to say many members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community are not ok today, including members of our own OPH team. (1/3)

Come hear from our panelists this Thursday about steps they took after not matching to a genetic counseling program. Some chose different career paths, while others reapplied and matched a subsequent year. Register for the event here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…  #genechat

@verleigh_ Amazing!! ❤️

A brief reflection on #IWD2023. Forever thankful for the women in my life. The trailblazers, mentors, supervisors, inspirations, friends- for lifting me up and seeing me. Still unlearning, still growing.

@GenCounsNews Terrifying!

@GenCounsNews Would this mean you wouldn't know if you passed for 6-8wk or you don't get the official score?

@verleigh_ Proud of you! I am sure you did great. Important work!!

Was fortunate enough to talk and hold a discussion during a GC lunch & learn about EDI issues and research being done in our lab. Wow. Hands and knees still shaking but- I did that? Me? Really? 🫣

Toronto voting against 24/7 access to warming centres for the unhoused shows a shocking disregard for basic human dignity, but remember: they spent nearly $2 million in one summer to clear encampments.
