Congrats to Dr. Steven Laviolette and my MSc student Andrea Kocsis on these well-deserved @CHRI @lhscri.bsky.social awards. I hope you can attend their talks!
Great celebrating the 24th annual Paul Harding Ob/Gyn Research Awards Day. We were delighted that our 2026 Earl Plunkett Lecturer, Dr. Graeme Smith, repatriated Dr. John Patrick’s Royal Society’s Gold Watch back to his former Department of Ob/Gyn at @schulichmeddent.bsky.social @westernu.ca
Looking forward to this rescheduled talk at my alma mater @waterloosci.bsky.social regarding the adverse cardiometabolic consequences of prenatal cannabinoids. A bit of a homecoming!
Looking forward to this exciting @schulichmeddent.bsky.social/CHRI seminar with @pharmalauren.bsky.social!
Congrats to my 4th year student Susie on her @schulichmeddent.bsky.social Physiology 4980 poster today. Great work!
Really looking forward to this exciting talk as part of our 2026 annual Paul Harding Ob/Gyn Research Awards Day! @schulichmeddent.bsky.social

Lookiing forward to this exhibit next week @westernu.ca @schulichmeddent.bsky.social @slobodalab.bsky.social
DOHaD Canada 2026 Meeting Call for Abstracts! Deadline for abstract submission is March 1, 2026. Looking forward to sharing knowledge and learning about your outstanding research! @dohadtrainee-ecr.bsky.social
Out in Farm Country shooting some derelict buildings in B/W, and came across this beauty, chillin' (literally, it was -15C°) along a Concession Road on the Midwestern Ontario Tundra. #birds #nature #birdwatching #birding #Fujifilm #birdphotographý #Canada #outdoors #outdoorphotography
While very relieved that my CIHR grant on placenta and fetal heart defects is funded (on the 3rd try), I am very concerned for the research community generally that the funding rate keeps dropping --13.1% in my committee😟.
Looking forward in talking to my alma mater @waterloosci.bsky.social regarding the adverse cardiometabolic consequences of prenatal cannabinoids. A bit of a homecoming!
Great times with the next generation of scientists today in Chemistry labs!
Looking forward to this @schulichmeddent.bsky.social #oncology Grand Rounds next Tuesday with my colleague Dr. Jim Petrik @uofguelph.bsky.social
Delighted to have Dr. Sandy Raha @McMasterU to speak to our 4th year @schulichmeddent.bsky.social students on the importance of proper and clear science communication!
