Sometimes life is about trying new things and laughing at yourself through it all. Here's my story about fitness, spin and HIIT class and why everyone belongs in the gym. Of the many things I've taken from my time @mcgillu, this fitness adventure is one of my favorites.

To my surprise, I discovered the gym is a place where I can belong https://t.co/mLlJBOlFV2

During Montreal's ice storm last month, my friend, without hesitation, generously opened her home to me. Chronicled in this article is a story of endless kindness and how a power outage turned into an adventure I won't ever forget.

@sci_questions Thank you so much Arinjay!

My grandmothers, Betty and Shobha, were one of my life's greatest gifts. To know them was to know life, strength and joy itself. Sharing a tribute I wrote for @CBCSask to my grandmothers and how they taught me to understand and accept grief.

@sci_questions @CBCSask @usask @VIDOInterVac @LMP_UofT @UBCbiochemistry Congratulations Arinjay, this is incredible to hear!

[Vaidehee Lanke @VaideheeLanke]

@Xtal_NP @sci_questions @CBC I'm so glad that the words of the story resonated with you. How extraordinary it is that stories of finding family can be felt by so many.

[Vaidehee Lanke @VaideheeLanke]

@kitchissippikid I'm so happy the words resonated with your experience. We all are so lucky to have neighbours like these.

[Vaidehee Lanke @VaideheeLanke]

I'm grateful to have found family through friendship with our neighbours. Our story reminds me that kindness, from everyday conversations to supporting each other through challenges, is what builds community and helps find belonging.

[CBC Saskatchewan @CBCSask]

As an immigrant, I longed for family. Now neighbours have become that kin for me https://t.co/uSoYKB8MGr

[Vaidehee Lanke @VaideheeLanke]

@treytonzary Thanks so much Treyton! It's so wonderful to know you share something similar with your neighbours. As you so eloquently put it, it's kindness and community that are our greatest strengths. ✨

[Vaidehee Lanke @VaideheeLanke]

It was an incredible experience to learn about the research endeavours of my fellow students and to share the research from my undergraduate honours project at @VIDOInterVac with @sci_questions. Thank you to @usaskUGResearch for creating space for young people to share research.

@signalhum @sci_questions Thank you @signalhum!

[Vaidehee Lanke @VaideheeLanke]

Thank you @sci_questions for your mentorship - from you and our entire team I’ve learnt a great deal about the world of research and the impact of STEM. With all I’ve learned as a scientist and person from this project, I can’t wait to start this next adventure.

[Vaidehee Lanke @VaideheeLanke]

An incredibly powerful film and discussion. Thank you to all the panelists for sharing their insights - it’s courageous conversations like this that help create meaningful change. Thank you @usaskUGResearch and @merlemassie for creating the space to take in this film together.

[USask uRSAW Initiative @usaskUGResearch]

We are both uplifted and shattered by our screening of @PictureaSciFilm. Our moderator @VaideheeLanke and panellists @tfkahan @mackayka #SamiaSami #JoyceWilson and #DavidJanz gave moving, thoughtful and impassioned responses to the film. We are so grateful.

We live in a global system, and without global access to vaccines, the pandemic will not be over. In the race to vaccinate our own country, Canada must not forget our commitment and responsibility to global health.

I’m proud to have ended the year at @usasksheaf with a series of articles on the COVID-19 vaccines: the science behind them, need for global, equitable distribution and combatting vaccines misinformation

[Vaidehee Lanke @VaideheeLanke]

This past year, it has become glaringly clear: we are not only fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, but also a deeply troubling and growing infodemic. Yet, our collective health and the course of this pandemic depends on our ability to combat misinformation.
