I’m part of the exec team at the CAHSPR student working group. Our first fall meeting is coming up soon and is a fun way to get involved in Canadian #hspr with other trainees!! 🤝 Grad school can be pretty isolating so it’s great to have a community of students around you!
Our first SWG fall meeting will be happening on Tues Sept 12 at 2:30pm ET. A great opportunity for students to get involved in Canadian #hspr and meet other trainees. Any and all are welcome! 🧚‍♀️ Learn more in our latest newsletter: eepurl.com/iuUWUc

Thanks so much for having me on and facilitating this insightful conversation! I talk about the importance of nuanced conversations about menstrual hygiene, accessible & safe gynae care, our work @missINFORMED_ca, and the centrality of values to all public health advocacy efforts
In our latest podcast episode, we speak with the Director of Research for @missINFORMED_ca, a Canadian youth-led non-profit that seeks to promote health literacy and sexual and reproductive rights for women and gender-diverse folks. publichealthinsight.buzzspro… @romadham

@KA_Boothe also facilitated this conversation in our comparative health policy graduate class. We found #ChatGPT was useful for summarizing arguments although it tends to oversimplify. One caution with using it for sources is that it routinely fabricates articles and links! 🤖

It was an absolute honour to be selected as one of 40 attendees for the @OxfamCanada and @CCGSD_CCDGS Youth Summit to advance sexual and reproductive health #SRHR across Canada. A weekend of powerful conversations about sexed, pleasure, repro justice, democracy, and much more! ✊
Day one of the @OxfamCanada and CCGSD Youth Summit was incredible. So many inspiring youth came together to share their stories and listen to wonderful speakers including our own executive director, Debbie, and Fred Chabot from @actioncanadashr! 🎉

Why is writing about yourself so hard?! Writing an essay about a complex topic I know little to nothing about… no problem at all! But writing about the person whose head I’ve been in for the past 25 years… yea idk her sorry 😐
