Have to shout out the incredible @kat_heger for winning an award at her first conference as a grad student for her research on the vaginal microbiome & chalymdia infections. Not only is Kat a great scientist, labmate and friend, but always has me keeling over in laughter.

Huge congratulations to my supervisor Dr. Laura Sycuro - an incredibly brilliant leader, mentor, advocate and researcher. This is so well deserved 🤩.
Professional hat trick these past few months: promotion & tenure, a 5-year grant, and 🇨🇦 citizenship! Academia is far from perfect, but patience, passion, resilience, creativity, collegiality, and the drive to achieve EDIA are alive and well in me and many others @UCalgary!.
