Very excited to share that I have co-authored my first children's book! Science communication is something I feel very passionately about and in today's avalanche of misinformation, #scicomm is more important than ever. Please feel free to share! https://t.co/SzgJZFYPkc

@drsoup09 @WesternU Congratulations! And enjoy the puppy - she is so sweet!

That's a wrap! Finished our data science course discussing the applications of "big data", including relation to ethical practices. It's always amazing to hear about real world examples of what we are learning. Happy holidays and see you in January! #MScIMSadvantage

Finished our 3 weeks working in R studio today and it was bittersweet. While it was challenging, I am thankful to have learned such a valuable skill in an immensely collaborative environment. Excited to apply my new knowledge in our final week of this block! #MScIMSadvantage

A bit late on my end-of-week #MScIMSadvantage tweet, but excited to start the week off tomorrow with more #datascience. Last week, we learned to create functions and used the ivermectin story as a case study.

A great visual explanation of the base-rate fallacy.

Finished our first week of #DataScience yesterday and I have a whole new appreciation of those who work in bioinformatics. Learning to code for the first time has been a challenge, but I'm excited to keep learning about such an important and growing field. #MScIMSadvantage

Incredibly honoured to be highlighted as a Public Health Insight Community Star! If you haven’t had a chance, check out the children’s book I co-authored, “Vinnie the Vaccine and the Battle Against COVID-19” at https://t.co/L9FLsaM2a6 #scicomm

“#Science literacy and science communication should be prioritized in #academic curricula from an early point in students’ academic careers all the way through postsecondary education." - Sarah Levy (@sarahl113), Public Health Insight Community Star⭐️

[Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS @Comadork]

If you have, or work with, young kids, this fantastic free book explains the importance of vaccines and COVID-19 in a fun way. “Vinnie the Vaccine saves the birthday party by vaccinating all the people in town!”. Maybe a lot of adults need to read it too! https://t.co/n8rEVUuUZm

[Dr. Nicole Campbell @drsoup09]

This is the best feedback from a current student. One of our main goals was to create a modern and relevant program for students regardless of their future aspirations. It is incredible to sit and listen to the discussion during these classes.

[Sarah Levy @sarahl113]

Finished up our fifth (!!) block course today with some insightful discussions surrounding ethical dilemmas that we may face in our careers, no matter where we end up. This is what I love about the IMS program - it is so applicable to life beyond school. #MScIMSadvantage

[Emma Mensour @EMensour]

Started today with a great class on scientific misconduct. Then, I spoke at the MSc in IMS info session! Very grateful to be apart of this amazing team and program! If interested, check it out⬇️ https://t.co/ywackChFcb

[Dr. Nicole Campbell @drsoup09]

MSc IMS students are working on a collaborative paper we hope to publish. We taught them science communication skills and I helped guide the story they are writing, but now they are taking the lead. Lots of great conversation and some laughs—music to my ears #SciComm #teamwork

How can social media be used to augment mental health services? While there are several harms to its use, it has been so interesting learning about potential benefits to social media use with @naslundj from
@harvardmed this afternoon!

[Sarah Levy @sarahl113]

Attending tonight’s ExaminED seminar, hearing from Dr. Noha Gomaa about the impact of social environment on health. So interesting to consider the influence of both biology and environment in the context of disease development.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

It shouldn’t matter if a child who dies of COVID or any disease has a “pre-existing condition”.

Why?

Because no child should die.

Period.

[Sarah Levy @sarahl113]

Tried to report an account on @tiktok_us that was advertising the sale of fake proof of vaccination cards for any country around the world. Apparently no violations were found. Do better TikTok and other platforms - your inaction is harmful to everyone.

[Sarah Levy @sarahl113]

Amazing first week reviewing some interesting cases in our academic integrity & professionalism course! Learned about Obokata, Olivieri, & many others, & chatted about strategies to prevent academic misconduct. #MScIMSadvantage

[Jann “stop live horse export” Arden @jannarden]

Get vaccinated. Be part of the solution. Risks you say? Bah humbug- you could choke on a candy cane and kick your clogs. You’ve got nuttin to lose.

[Sarah Levy @sarahl113]

As a descendent of Holocaust survivors, this comparison is extremely horrifying. Please do not compare my family's FORCED entry into death camps to your CHOICE not to vaccinate.

[Caryn Lieberman @caryn_lieberman]

Haven’t been able to get this sign out of my mind. It was held up by an anti-vaccine protester today at an unrelated long-term care protest. To use this yellow star as a symbol of protest is appalling and trivializes the Holocaust.
