No better way to end the year by successfully passing your PhD Defense!
Nothing more memorable than to have your colleagues, collaborators, friends and family all together cheering you on.
Thankful for the support and journey!

What about the wait for a family doctor? Or in the ER waiting to be seen? Or for surgery?

Had a great conversation with @UA_magazine podcast host Kate on the topic of #mentalhealth and #academia
Episode below!

Why do so many academics face mental health struggles? Prof Kim Hellemans at @Carleton_U explains. Listen now universityaffairs.ca/the-aca… #mentalhealth #AcademicChatter
I did it. I officially submitted my PhD Thesis!!
Several years ago I hit a mini thesis gong when submitting my BSc honours thesis. Recently, I got to hit a real gong in Thailand to commemorate finishing my PhD Thesis!
Now getting ready for the PhD Defence.
This post is a little late but, I did not want to miss the opportunity to share some highlights from #ICCE2024!
It was wonderful to be a part of the systems thinking symposium, engage in rich convos, and meet & reunite with esteemed scholars in chem ed.
A few memories below👇

It's been a pleasure working with @vicatal and the working group of the Sustainability and Systems Thinking in Chemistry Education (STICE) IUPAC project!
Check out the educational resources we created on how to plan, implement, and assess STICE 👇

ALT To guide and facilitate the application of a systems thinking lens in the planning, implementation, and assessment of chemistry lessons, we suggest using the educational framework described and exemplified on the www.sastice.com website
If you are interested in incorporating more systems thinking into your chemistry teaching, check the resources developed by the SaSTICE project from IUPAC: Website (sites.google.com/view/sastic…) and YouTube Channel (youtube.com/watch?v=-ZX2S049…)
To learn more about systems thinking in chemistry education and other tools (e.g., SOCKit) that you can use to implement ST in your chemistry courses, explore sastice.com!

We are deeply disappointed that graduate students and postdoctoral scholars were not included in today's Fall Economic Statement.
Without investments, Canada will continue to fail its most vulnerable researchers #SupportOurScience
