🗣️ « La fébrilité est palpable sur nos campus en ce début d’année universitaire. Étant donné qu’il s’agit de ma première rentrée comme rectrice, je suis d’autant plus enchantée à l’idée de vous croiser. » – @rectriceUOpres
Bonne rentrée!

As we mark #WorldBloodDonorWeek and #WorldSickleCellWeek, hear from advocates pushing for better care and a more inclusive blood donation policy in Canada.
Families. Researchers. Community leaders:
Their voices are driving change for thousands living with sickle cell disease.
Les personnes atteintes d’anémie falciforme dépendent de #TransfusionsSanguines. Mais, au Canada, toute personne ayant eu le paludisme auparavant est exclue à vie du don de sang—ce qui touche les donneurs les plus compatibles. Un rapport d'@uOttawa à paraître bientôt expliquera.
À l’occasion de la Semaine du #DonDeSang et de la Semaine de l’#AnémieFalciforme, écoutons les voix qui réclament de meilleurs soins et une politique de don de sang plus inclusive au Canada.
Familles. Scientifiques. Militantes communautaires : leurs voix font avancer la cause.
Le cadre national sur l’#AnémieFalciforme est un pas historique dans la lutte pour des meilleurs soins au Canada. Une belle illustration de la force de l'action collective entre scientifiques à l’@uOttawa et leaders communautaires.

#WorldBloodDonorDay: Thousands of people with sickle cell disease rely on blood transfusions. But in Canada, anyone who has ever had malaria is permanently banned from donating blood—a rule that affects the most compatible donors. A @uOttawa report coming soon will reveal more.
#Ageism is too often overlooked—and it harms workplace equity.

Science and research matter.
They are fundamental building blocks of Canada.
We need a minister with research in their title.
Research leads to innovation and
economic growth.
Time for Canada to lead and welcome researchers to build Canada.
Pleased to attend the grand reopening of @uOttawa’s Kanata North campus — a key milestone for innovation, growth, and collaboration in Canada’s largest tech park.
Through a $1M investment from our government, this campus will be the home of the new SITE-CAV program, driving cutting-edge research in connected, autonomous vehicles and strengthening made-in-Ontario innovation.
