Congrats to Prof. Nathalie Tufenkji on receiving an NSERC CREATE grant! $1.65M will fund MIXCHEM, a new training program on chemical contaminants. 👏 (@TufenkjiLab) mcgill.ca/x/imv
🚨 EXPERT ALERT🚨 About one-third of Canadians are now obese, with women and young adults most affected, according to a new study. An expert from @mcgillu is available for media interviews:➡️ mcgill.ca/newsroom/chann…
Women now make up over half of medical students in Canada, but only one-third of practising surgeons. A new @mcgillu study suggests part of the gap stems from gender norms embedded in workplace culture. 🩺➡️mcgill.ca/newsroom/chann… @McGillMed
Happening today! Don't miss out, register now to join 🤝
