Yesterday I had the pleasure of moderating a panel on sex- and gender-based analysis (SGBA) in Health & Rehab Sciences. Organized by the @IGHnetwork_UTor, the event brought ~50 participants, showing strong interest in embedding SGBA in research & practice.

Happy Women’s Health Research Day! ⭐ Although incorporation of #SABV or #SGBA has sparked progress, research must more thoroughly address factors unique to women’s health and analyze data by sex and gender to improve outcomes for all. 💡 🔗 Learn more: https://t.co/PR3cDJMmis

Can't believe it's been 1 year since I became senior mentor for the @IGHnetwork_UTor. It’s been amazing connecting with talented trainees and chapters across 🇨🇦. In just 12 months, we’ve hosted 3 events, grown to 12 members, and submitted a grant proposal! More to come!
