@AKLofters : Finally, race-based work is heavy because it is often personal, this needs to be understood #PCRD2022 @QueensuFamMed

[Sophy Chan-Nguyen @sophywschan]

@AKLofters Points for improvement in race-based research: Genetics points to ancestry, not race! Solicit patient input; consult specific data governance frameworks; #PCRD2022 @QueensuFamMed

[Sophy Chan-Nguyen @sophywschan]

@AKLofters Transparency, governance processes in place needed for race-based data collection #PCRD2022 @QueensuFamMed

[Sophy Chan-Nguyen @sophywschan]

@AKLofters: Race-based data collection is only the first step - NOT the outcome; race needs to be considered throughout the entire research process #PCRD2022 @QueensuFamMed

[Sophy Chan-Nguyen @sophywschan]

@QueensuFamMed @AKLofters: Also remember, "Race is always a proxy!!!" It is real because constructed as so. It is your responsibility to think critically about what race is a proxy for #PCRD2022

[Sophy Chan-Nguyen @sophywschan]

@QueensuFamMed @AKLofters "Only Black people get Sickle Cell?" SC protective against malaria, frequency of SC in S&E Africa low - generalized statements are "sloppy" and "bad science"

[Sophy Chan-Nguyen @sophywschan]

@QueensuFamMed @AKLofters: One thing to remember from the talk: "Race is not biological!!!" However, this is often difficult for clinicians to accept, which has very real repercussions on health access for racialized individuals #healthequity

[Sophy Chan-Nguyen @sophywschan]

@QueensuFamMed kicks off #PCRD2022 w/ @AKLofters as the keynote on race in medicine & health research - traditional discourses around race tend to pathologize racialized individuals, based on problematic assumptions

NEW: April Koh built a $2 billion mental-health startup by age 29. Current and former employees tell me she led a fast-paced culture that created panic and fear.

Please take this to the 10 min mark. It's rare that a guest discussing a news story is compelled to hold back the tears and say that they are a human being. @DuaneBratt is an excellent political scientist & a decent human being. https://t.co/Rxzrh9uE5v

On mixing vaccines, the counter-narrative to a misleading post by @CP24 🙄

[Samantha Yammine, PhD @heysciencesam]

No, the @WHO did *NOT* contradict NACI and say it is dangerous to mix vaccines for first and second doses, eg. first dose AZ, second mRNA; first dose Pfizer, second Moderna.

Here's what was actually said 👇🏼

I’m slow to the game but this is an important piece: @MumilaaqQaqqaq “I will never again put my faith in these institutions, or in Canada, until I see structural changes happening.” https://t.co/m4XcpcQvFc via @torontostar
