Don's keynote was engaging and made me reflect on how I should involve #patientpartners in the research process moving forward #NWSPOR2022

@CaitlinMuhl Enjoy exploring the Lake Louise & Banff area!

[Michelle Leong @MLeong_15]

Big thanks to my supervisor Dr. Kerry McBrien and my committee members Drs. David Campbell and Paul Ronksley for their guidance and support. Thank you @BradenONeill for asking great questions as the int/ext examiner. Super excited to turn my research findings into practice! 2/2

[Michelle Leong @MLeong_15]

I passed my MSc defense with minor revisions last week! The past 2 years were filled with amazing personal growth and learning opportunities - interned @Medlior, TAed an epidemiology course, and revised my thesis methods multiple times 1/2

[ENCOMPASS Study @chn_encompass]

Our Master's student, Michelle Leong, has successfully defended her thesis titled “The role of Community Health Navigators in the creation of plans to support patients with chronic conditions” Congratulations @MLeong_15! We look forward to you joining the ENCOMPASS research team!

This was the best advice I got from @grassisgreenre when I was searching for potential grad supervisors. This is one of the first things I tell my mentees when they are going through the grad school application process now!! #AcademicChatter

[Rebecca Green @grassisgreenre]

@KevinKDuclos Yes. This. I think it’s super important for a supervisor to give any potential trainee a chance yo talk to both the current lab and also previous trainees. Supervisor trainee fit is so key and the fact is we don’t all mentor all personalities of students equally well.

[Michelle Leong @MLeong_15]

I wish I did this at the start of my graduate degree. It would make the thesis writing process a lot smoother!

@ikkebr @kingsandmadmen @ab_vax 6213 Centre St N, Calgary. Just a heads up, this pharmacy may almost be out of the test kits!

It's graduate program application time! Are you looking for a thesis supervisor? Here are a few tips. 🧵

No mention about assessing the quality of included studies as well 🤦. A poorly done systematic review & meta analysis can have major public health implications.

[Health Nerd @GidMK]

This review of vitamin D and COVID-19 is ENORMOUSLY popular online, so I thought I'd take a look

There are serious deficiencies here. I'm actually wondering if the paper is a joke? 1/n

A safe working environment is a human right #boycottfritolay

@grassisgreenre Congratulations on an adorable dev bio project 🎉🥳

[Michelle Leong @MLeong_15]

Attending national and international conferences was the highlight of my undergraduate research career. As much as I want things returning to "normal", virtual conferences are more environmentally friendly and inclusive

@grassisgreenre I got my first big girl physical today and when I saw that BP, I knew I needed to do some explaining...but all is right in the world now :)

[Michelle Leong @MLeong_15]

Nothing like technical glitches in sending out medical school interview invites to make my blood pressure skyrocket. Went to my GP today and BP was 141/95mmHg 😬

[Michelle Leong @MLeong_15]

@t_wonng Thanks for your vote of confidence! I got the interview invite an hour ago but it was a really stressful 24 hours since a lot of people got their emails yesterday.

[Michelle Leong @MLeong_15]

Great high level explanation on how mRNA vaccines work!

[Rob Swanda @ScientistSwanda]

Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.

Yesterday, I got to hang out with LTC residents (virtually!) by telling stories about memorable outdoor experiences. They were engaged and got a few laughs out of some unfortunate experiences. Living in a LTC setting can feel especially isolating right now, reach out if you can!
