Our trainees have been busy! Three excellent oral presentations delivered at @McMasterOBGYN’s annual RT Weaver Research Day and a Best Oral presentations delivered to Maya! Congrats to all the phenomenal presenters.

Special congratulations to Maya for winning the Michael Gent Award for Best Poster Presentation!

Thanks to @HEI_mcmaster for organizing an excellent #HEIResearchDay2025. So many valuable exchanges of ideas on epi methods and about asking the right questions…and a wonderful place to share the work of @PerlLabMac over the last year.
