@JustinAndrushko @CBC Absolutely great news that the work in this area is getting recognized and translated! A very nice piece. But @CBC we shouldn’t forget that the original work showing these sparing effects was done right here in Canada! 😉 See those links above!

Great having Dr. Holmes and PhD student @KailynnM visit us for some collaborative work on #MultipleSclerosis rehabilitation. Finished off the visit with a nice dinner at the Fish Exchange. Only person missing was @jpfarthing!!! @MSSocietyCanada

@USaskKin Congrats Doug!! You will be missed. Such a great advocate for Kinesiology and movement. One of the good ones!!!

Congratulations to Doug Hillis as he taught his last class, KIN 150 today. Doug has been an excellent teacher and leader for so many people over his career and we wish him the best on his retirement!

@JustinAndrushko @MuscleSciMegan @USaskKin I’m very happy with how it worked too @JustinAndrushko !! Lots of advantages of an interview or two with supervisor and student before making a decision.

Random question. What are #sciencetwitter thoughts on PhD programs where students are accepted in the program then pick a PI v. programs where student/PI pick each other first, then student accepted into program?

@JustinAndrushko @CIHR_IRSC @UBC_BrainLab Congrats Justin! So well deserved!!
