Some photos from @uhntrainees's STAR Program Research Day today. It was lovely meeting with summer students to learn about their #research projects. Special bonus - seeing former high school students of ours continue at UHN as undergrads! #NextGenUHN

I have always felt that it's important to acknowledge and give proper credit to the early career researchers and trainees for the great research they do.

Today we remember one of the world's greatest scientists: Marie Skłodowska Curie, who died #OTD in 1934. Curie was the first person to be awarded the #NobelPrize twice and is still the only person to receive the prize in two different scientific fields.

This is my dear niece Sierra. Last night she had her car broken into in London, ON and had two sets of regalia stolen. Regalia is costly to create, but literally priceless to the dancer. If you see these dresses or beadwork out there please contact London Police.🫶🏽❤️ #LdnOnt
