Meet my new research support staff: "Manitos de Manteca" y "Ojitos Moraditos". They were my childhood dolls and now they work with kids of my research team & colleagues to "discuss science" . They have a very important role in Zoom meetings now 😂😂😂

@OBrien_IPH A brilliant scientist, and a kind and humble person. He will be immensely missed 😪

The O’Brien Institute is deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Hude Quan. Hude made extraordinary contributions to public health research locally & globally. We extend our deepest condolences to his family & all who had the privilege of working with him. news.ucalgary.ca/news/memoriam-…

While research investment is a great thing, I will never understand why we can't focus this investment on scientists that are here. I mean have you seen the resources CERCs get? But Carney says "Not enough 🇨🇦 talent" apparently.

Premature babies who hear their mother's voice more show accelerated brain development In a randomized trial, preterm babies who heard ~2.67 extra hours/day of maternal speech showed more mature white matter in the left arcuate fasciculus (an important language pathway)

Toddler Gut Bacteria Linked to Childhood Anxiety and Depression Early gut bacteria may help shape a child’s emotional future. Researchers found that toddlers with higher levels of certain microbes—specifically those from the Clostridiales and Lachnospiraceae families—were more likely to develop anxiety and depression symptoms later in childhood. These microbes appear to influence how brain networks involved in emotion communicate. The findings suggest that the gut microbiome could be a powerful early marker for mental health, potentially modifiable through diet or probiotics.

@OdedRechavi Paper

What hurts you more - getting a paper rejected or getting a grant rejected? I know grant rejections are probably worst in terms of consequences, but paper rejections are somehow more emotional (for me). Depends on the paper and grant of course (and how urgently you need the money or publication), but I’m asking in general.

Maternal wellbeing has been described in the literature, but no consensus on a global definition is available 🌍 Introducing “Maternal wellbeing: a WHO definition and conceptual framework”, now in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women’s Health 👉 hubs.li/Q03LFYkD0

Do we really need to do research specifically on women's health? The REBOOT trial finds beta-blockers - a standard therapy for heart attacks - causes harm in women, but not men. Yes. The answer is yes. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti…
