Ever wonder why all of a sudden #vaping has become so huge? We discuss that as well as so much on our next episode with TWO health economists studying tobacco control and health equity at @McMasterU! We just recorded it today (with our new gear) and you are in for a treat!

Our wonderful host @MrAhmednurAli met our former health minister @janephilpott today and discussed many health issues that impact Canadians today!

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

As a #WilsonLeader, I had the honor and privilege to chat with Dr. Jane Philpott (@janephilpott) today.

Rarely can one say they met someone they look up to and respect. Today was an amazing day and I will take her advice to heart.

For a policy wonk, this was an amazing day.

[The Health Briefs @TheHealthBriefs]

Today we had the wonderful @jencandlish give the Labelle lecture on Indigenous data, research and governance. We were fortunate to have her record an episode for our podcast today too in which she talks about her experiences further. Stay tuned for it to be released soon! #NFHP19
