To celebrate our undergraduate summer students, the #ProjectMaVen team got together at the pub to hear about what they’ve learnt and to enjoy ourselves. Aisha did a great job on her presentation #ProudPI

Yesterday the whole lab went out for lunch to bid Sonia goodbye on her return to Paris soon. You will be missed! #VasconcelosLab @uhnresearch.ca @bbdc-uoft.bsky.social @mcsociety.bsky.social

Sometimes the universe rewards me for going on an early morning run 😍. Isn’t she pretty??? Plus I was thankful for an excuse to catch my breath by stopping for a pic 😅

The Brazilian Supreme Court has ordered the house arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial over an alleged plot to overturn the results of the 2022 presidential election.

Dear NAVBO community! We’re excited to share a new episode of our podcast — a refreshing interview 💯 with current NAVBO President, Dr. Wayne Orr. He shares his vision for the future of our community and offers valuable career insights. 🎧 Tune in now on Spotify! open.spotify.com/episode/0516...

Congratulations to Angela Zhou, an extremely talented MD/PhD student in my lab, who is now a Vanier Scholar! I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this honor. Go Angela! #ProudPI #Vanier @uoftmedicine.bsky.social #LMP @uhnresearch.ca @uoftengineering.bsky.social #TGHRI

Omar's final PhD paper is finally out! He describes the generation of a 3D in vitro model of diastolic dysfunction w preserved ejection fraction using human #cardiomyocytes. #hypertrophy #HFpEF #OOAC @uhnresearch.ca @uoftmedicine.bsky.social Check it out👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I second going back to in person meetings. Problem is, they will continue online as long as they find reviewers willing to do meetings online... If most declined saying the reason is b/c it is not in person and they cannot concentrate for that long online CIHR would have to seriously consider it.

📣 We’re recruiting 1-2 Group Leaders! NCMBM is looking for early-career researchers ready to establish their independent research groups! 🧬 With an attractive start-up package, help us shape the future of molecular biosciences and medicine in 🇳🇴 and be part of the @nordicembl.bsky.social!

And I'd bet we have a higher reviewer request acceptance rate than virtual competitions. There are some definite benefits to VR but IP is more rigorous, accountable and interactive.

Tara is amazing! Keep your eyes peeled for her work #diabetes community! #OOAC @uoftmedicine.bsky.social

Day recap: Paper accepted ✅ Grant rejected ❌ Grant funded✅ Some you win, some you lose. I’ll take it!

There’s something magical that happens when the color, chaos, and choreography of #CirqueduSoleil are infused with Brazilian music. From the first notes of samba to the echo of berimbau, the show transforms. The rhythm pulses through the artists, drives the story, and pulls you into the 1/2

Big energy at this week’s Project #MaVen meeting! The meeting was a real reminder of what makes MaVen special: interdisciplinary collaboration. Whether it’s bioengineering, stem cell biology, bioethics or computational science, innovation happens at the intersections—and our community thrives there.

What an incredible loss! RIP Dr. Till
