Elena Verdu, professor @MacDeptMed and director @Farncombe_GI, joined Degrees of Science to discuss the groundbreaking research that could potentially bring scientists closer to developing a treatment or cure for celiac disease. ow.ly/aYAI50T4cLK

What a pensive panel of faculty at Research topics in GI this chilly afternoon in Quebec City while our very own PhD student Kelly Kan brilliantly presents her work ⁦@cddw_clm⁩ ⁦@LabCaminero⁩ ⁦@Bercik_Collins⁩ ⁦@Farncombe_GI⁩

Way to go! JAC awardee @ccaceliac Utkarshini Kirtikar, from @VerduLab, for her outstanding presentation and for winning one of the Best Speaker award at the Research Topics! @cddw_clm @Farncombe_GI @machealthsci

That’s a wrap! A snowy walk with my friend @VeroGirouxPhD after a stunning 2025 Research Topics. @cddw_clm CDDW here we go!

"One email at a time, one informational interview after another, I became comfortable, confident, and strategic in building my network of mentors." One mentor isn’t enough, wrote @DrErikaMoore in this 2021 #ScienceWorkingLife essay. scim.ag/3PGXEW9…

This new game will definitely help fellow scientists chew through those reviewer comments with a bit of humor, even for me for sure!. A very good idea for early-career scientists, and a perfect way to practice handling criticism without losing your mind. Def gotta try it!

People with celiac and gluten intolerance face even higher food insecurity as the cost of food rises. Gluten-free options already cost more, hitting low-income households hardest. A refundable tax credit is essential to support the celiac community. Post below for more info!
