An exciting night with our 2nd Annual MBDC Alumni Networking Night. It was wonderful to reconnect and see where their paths have led and so rewarding to watch the sharing of experiences with the next generation of MBDC students. So grateful for our fantastic alumni! @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social

Congratulations Dr. Dana J. Sowa, our second PhD of the lab, and again, I'm so proud of all she has accomplished. A problem-solver and leader, wherever she lands next is going to be very lucky to have her! Thanks to her committee @gdwantibiotics.bsky.social @freudlab.bsky.social and Dr. Zhu.

Had the honour of seeing @msmacrophage.bsky.social perform this at #hamiltonfringe last year and it was outstanding! Hilarious, educational, and a masterclass in communicating science to everyone! Definitely go see if you can.

Fantastic visit from Dr. M. Junop @westernu.bsky.social here @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social. Even better - a mini grad school reunion. Not only did I learn how to be a scientist from him, but how to run a lab with kindness, empathy, and to provide a safe space to learn from failure.

Extremely concerning, given how similar sentiments in the south have led to cancelling research with "women" or "females" in the grant. So short-sighted as research that includes and studies the "woke" often benefits all. Sorry, but research should strive to make the world better for everyone.

⏰ Last call! Abstract reg. deadline for the Annual Biophysical Society of Canada Meeting is April 15! 🧬 📍 McMaster University, May 20–23 🎤 Great speakers, hands-on workshops, trainee-friendly vibes + banquet. 👉 event.fourwaves.com/bsc2025 #Biophysics #BSC2025
