PhD and master’s students worldwide report rates of depression and anxiety that are six times higher than those in the general public. What do you think should be done to help? https://t.co/uAlQUHdfWo

Many doctoral curricula aim to produce narrowly focused researchers rather than critical thinkers. That can and must change, says Gundula Bosch https://t.co/kzJmBcvH14

#MSresearch: A happy mistake in the lab has led to an important new discovery that might help explain why men get MS less frequently than women, and may ultimately lead to a whole new treatment approach for people with #MS. https://t.co/PMvvTysyIT

The support I've received while in my PharmD. Program and finishing my cancer treatments has been amazing.

Having been treated with a new biologic I was awe-inspired by the scientists who created it so I followed them into drug discovery. These drugs saved my life and allowed me to keep all my organs.

I'm happier now than I was before. My journey with cancer has given my life meaning

[Because Science @robocupcakes]

I spent almost 5 years getting treated, entering remission and then being treated again when it came back. The only impact on my university career was graduating 1 semester behind because I took 4 classes each semester to fit in visits to the local hospital to continue treatment

Uterine serous carcinoma has biologics that can fight cancer without the need of radical surgeries or chemo/radiation but they're not avaliable in my province so I went to a Cancer Care of America center and paid out of pocket for treatments. Best decision of my life!!

[Because Science @robocupcakes]

After diagnosis I decided to stay in university because all of my idle time was spent thinking about how I had cancer and university is good at keeping my mind busy. My profs were very supportive but there is often little to no support from admin for cancer patient students

[Because Science @robocupcakes]

It's #WorldCancerDay #WorldCancerDay2018 so I'm going to tweet about my experience being diagnosed with uterine cancer in my second year of my undergrad degree in Atlantic Canada. I'm a #cancersurvivor now, so I feel a duty to raise #CancerAwareness

#BellLetsTalk it's not just young people who struggle with mental health issues. Consider reaching out to your grandparents or an older individual you interact with. Everyone deserves to not feel alone. https://t.co/jenFmIQOXK

1 in 4 Newfoundland seniors are using highly addictive medications on a regular basis. Pharmacists have the drug therapy knowledge and tools to help patients successfully taper and stop these medications! https://t.co/MXdKmzL9Ef

Today was my first day interacting with patients at a community setting and my goodness,the move from designing drugs in a research lab to making sure patients are safely taking medication that is appropriate for them is one that makes my heart very happy.
