Me 👉🏾many years as the 'lonely only' at many conferences. You don't have to be! #BlackinSTEM - present your work, be seen, join a community, meet potential employers. Abstract submission now open for #BESTEMM2022. proofexperiences.swoogo.com/BE-STEMM_Abstr…

Ending the semester (and year) on a positive note with an article in McGill Perspectives on Global Health about the trainee-led McGill University McGill Medicine and Health Sciences SAFE committee, what our goals are, and how you can get involved!

Excited to announce that Isaac Odame will be a speaker at #BESTEMM2022. He is the Haematology Section Head in the Division of Haematology/Oncology and the Medical Director of the Global Sickle Cell Disease Network at the Centre for Global Child Health The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). #STEM

We are pleased to have McGill University as a sponsor for  #BESTEMM2022 :our first virtual conference highlighting Black Excellence in Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Medicine and Health! Please join us! We welcome everyone to register as we strive at being an inclusive network! #STEM

I am proud to be presenting my work in this great conference! I work on transposable elements in the epigenome. I'll present today, but really, all 4 days should contain amazing science and important lessons for all, so don't miss it! #BESTEMM2022 Canadian Black Scientists Network

Thank you! It all happened so fast I didn't even think to post about it! It was a great experience and being part of the SAFE committee was critical in putting me on this Journey!

The NSERC / CRSNG Chairs for Women in Science and Engineering Network congratulates Sheri McDowell, PhD for winning our sponsored Rising Star Award for her talk at the Canadian Black Scientists Network #BESTEMM2022 Conference!

Congrats Sheri McDowell, PhD ! Well deserved! Amazing in leadership and science! Canadian Black Scientists Network You make us proud! McGill University

The BESTEMM conference was an amazing experience! Great science and talks, but also a thoughtful mix of the two! The very nature of the conference led to acknowledgment of personal lived realities even within otherwise purely scientific talks! Inspiring! #BESTEMM2022 Canadian Black Scientists Network

Reminder about the next McGill University McGill Medicine and Health Sciences Lunch & Learn Workshop: From PhD to Post-Doc on Feb 24th, 12 PM with Dr. Oz Ophila 🪰 from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), @KarlFredVx from NIH & Dr. Shawn from McMaster University! It’s going to be a great discussion! Aimee Ryan Jenn Chen Kimberly John

A whirlwind 3.5 days of science and networking at #CanEpi22 and #IHEC2022 has finally come to a close! A huge thanks to the speakers, sponsors, and most importantly, the attendees for contributing to the continued growth and success of the conference.

📆Save the date!!! #BESTEMM2023 is around the corner! Registration information coming soon! Let's continue to work together to make Canadian #STEM more inclusive. #STEMeducation #Canadianblackscientists #diversityinscience

Great talk by Jeffrey Hyacinthe (Guillaume Bourque lab) diving deep into epigenomic profile of human TEs across gigantic IHEC dataset. Most TE families have unique profiles, often cell type-specific. TEs are exquisite markers of epigenetic states!

Great people and science. Thank you Guillaume Bourque and Cedric🧬➰🧬Feschotte #BarbaTE23

Two papers published in Cell Genomics today! First one by talented senior postdoc Xun Chen is: cell.com/cell-genomics/…

Second one by PhD student and graph-magician Cristian Groza @[email protected] : cell.com/cell-genomics/…

Happy to share our work showing that circulating proteins can predict COVID-19 severity 🥳 Our study in Scientific Reports identifies biomarkers to improve patient care! #COVID19 #biomarkers Thanks to Sirui Zhou, Edgar Gonzalez-Kozlova, and brent richards! nature.com/articles/s4159… 🧵:

Great talk by Jeffrey Hyacinthe (Guillaume Bourque lab) mining 6000 ChIP-seq datasets for diverse histone mods to create an atlas of TE chromatin states across human cell types. Such a rich source of biology! Not just silent chromatin! #KSTE23

Had an amazing time at Keystone transposable elements! Great talks, connections and friendly people all around! Definitely a promising area! I've learned a lot, had lots of ideas and got to present my work! Big thanks to everyone involved and attending! #KSTE23 #KSTRANSPOSONS24
