Wow, we received the @OHBM Merit Abstract Award! 🍾 We will present a fast and easy method to localize cortical representations with transcranial magnetic stimulation (#TMS). Spoiler: It works pretty well. See gif for a finger muscle (FDI) in PMd pp: doi.org/10.1101/2021.0

Here's direct opportunity to help someone overcome barriers our BIPOC and immigrant students & future physicians face. Share the GoFundMe if you can't support financially. *I don't personally know Noroh, though she is loved by some of my favourite people gofundme.com/f/Noroh-Medical…

Jordynn Klein and other medical students at @UofT wanted to help health care workers however they could. And since offering their services, they’ve been busy babysitting, running errands, and grabbing groceries for those on the front line. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/03…
