First time I get the cover of a magazine and it's in @Nature! Had this idea to illustrate the diversity captured by the MX Biobank across Mexico and brilliant designer @mauguz33 brought it to life inspired by indigenous Huichol art from near my home town. nature.com/nature/volumes…

@1NativeSoilNerd @doctora_nature 👍🏼

Watching when organizations will refer to some of their colleagues as a Dr. (usually white, always men), & women of color by their first name. I can be cool with dropping the Dr. formalities, but when you choose to acknowledge one & not the other, your unconscious bias is showing

"Recent changes to include the MCAT as an optional requirement for applicants under the Indigenous Admissions Pathway sends a clear message about Dalhousie Medical School’s commitment to promoting education equity for Indigenous [P]eoples."
