The Western Organoid Workshop (WOW) is underway with a great talk by @VBLu_Lab @WesternUPandP @SchulichMedDent @WesternU!
Thank you @OCUFA for this incredible honour and for a special ceremony and gift. I am just one of many educators striving to make a difference, but in this moment, I am celebrating my journey—2015 me wouldn’t believe this. Grateful to everyone who supported me and my nomination.
Lots of buzz at the poster sessions! So great to see after 3 years!
Today is a big day for us, our annual research day capped by the James AF Stevenson Lecture by Tak Mak on cancer therapies. Talks by our own @SergeLucaciu & @VBLu_Lab start at 2pm in McKellar Room (UCC290), followed by Dr. Mak. /1
